Sudhan Gurung, a Gen-Z leader and re-appointed Home Minister of Nepal, arrives at the ministry to take charge for the second time in less than two months in Kathmandu, Nepal, on June 9, 2026. Gurung, who resigned from the post in April following his connection to a controversial businessman, returns as Home Minister. He announces a new investigation initiative as part of his four major policy decisions aimed at reforming national security and addressing unresolved high-profile cases, stating that ''every criminal file in the country will now be reopened.'' Gurung also mentions that further investigation into the Narayanhiti Royal Palace incident of June 1, 2001, will proceed by reviewing previous reports. The event, known as the Royal Massacre, resulted in the deaths of the entire family of then-King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah.

Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and Assamese macaque (Macaca assamensis) monkeys are observed in the Sevoke area, particularly around the Sevoke Kali Mandir near the banks of the Teesta River, a location known as ''Monkey Hill'' or ''Sevoke Hill''. The monkeys are often seen on the railings by the riverside and near the bridge, interacting with visitors and frequently foraging for food. They are active near residential areas and forest edges within the protected Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, often feeding on trees or taking food left by commuters and visitors. A macaque mother and her baby, along with other monkeys, sit on the railing on the banks of the Teesta River, occasionally startled by the sound of passing vehicles, causing them to hang from the wall to hide, peeking out furtively in Sevoke, West Bengal, India, on April 19, 2026.

The Teesta River flows through North Bengal near the strategic Siliguri Corridor, also known as the ''Chicken's Neck,'' which connects India with Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. The river, particularly around Sevoke and Kalimpong, has experienced severe damage from Himalayan flash floods, resulting in human suffering and infrastructure loss. In 2023, a glacial lake outburst flood in North Sikkim left thousands homeless and caused numerous casualties. In certain areas along the river, people have constructed bamboo dwellings. Recent Chinese involvement in a Teesta River project in Bangladesh has raised security concerns for India. The Border Roads Organisation and NHIDCL continue to work in regions adjacent to the Teesta River to ensure the road remains undamaged by future floods and nearby settlements are safeguarded. They are also fortifying NH-10, a vital highway within the Siliguri Corridor, to enhance its resilience in Siliguri, West Bengal, India, on April 19, 2026.
