The seven officials, who are currently posted in the Consulate General office on the National Library Avenue in the Alipore area of Kolkata, were hopeful that the situation would return to normalcy within a few days.

"That is a big relief for us after we spoke to our family members in Nepal. They are all safe. The protestors only targeted the corrupt leaders," a senior official of the Consulate General of Nepal told PTI.
