Indian television channels are popular among viewers in Kathmandu and other cities in Nepal.
However there has been growing anger at what is being seen as Indian attempts to wilfully obstruct the supply of essential goods into Nepal and interference with the internal affairs of a sovereign nation.
India expressed concern over the new constitution after its adoption spurred protests by minority ethnic groups in the south of Nepal. At least 40 people have been killed in the violence.
Demonstrators in the region have since blocked two of the main border crossings from India, shutting off vital supply lines.
With several hundred trucks stuck at the frontier, supplies including sugar, salt and cooking gas cylinders are being affected.
Nepal is heavily dependent on supplies from neighbouring India.
Indian envoy Ranjit Rae was called in by the Acting Nepalese Foreign Minister Khaga Raj last week and the issue of "obstruction" in the supply of essential goods coming in from the Indian side was raised with him, the PTI news agency reported.
However it said Mr Rae had clarified that there was no obstruction from the Indian side on the movement of goods and the problem was due to unrest, protests and demonstrations on the Nepalese side.
President Ram Baran Yadav has announced promulgation of new constitution amidst a special ceremony at Constituent Assembly (CA) hall on Saturday evening. Before announcing the enactment of the much-awaited constitution, the head of the state signed five copies of the constitution. Addressing on the historic occasion, President Yadav remarked that he concept of 'people as the sovereign' has been established through this constitution, adding that republicanism has been institutionalized. He further called for unity and cooperation of all at this historic moment. The new constitution has taken drastic departures in comparison to the Constitution of Nepal-1990 that adopted multiparty democratic system with monarchy as head of the state. The new charter institutionalized republic in place of monarchy, federalism in place of unitary system and added proportional representative electoral model to advance the policy of inclusion in the decision making level.
