Two officers from the Nepal embassy in Delhi are expected to visit Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday following the tragic death of a Nepalese student, officials confirmed.

The deceased student, identified as Prakriti Lamsal, was a third-year B.Tech student at KIIT. She was found dead in her hostel room on the campus, prompting concerns among her peers and the Nepalese student community at the institute.
