Ban on sit-in demonstrations in Kathmandu
Meanwhile, the Nepal government announced a ban on protests in most parts of Kathmandu in view of the movement of monarchy supporters. A notification issued by the Kathmandu District Administration Office said that sit-in, hunger strike, protest, public function and demonstration will be banned at other places except three places in the Kathmandu Ring Road area – Koteshwar, Balkhu and Sifal Maidan.
For how many days will the order remain effective?
According to the notification, this ban will be effective from June 2 for the next two months. It said the ban was imposed to avoid possible disruption of business activities and transport services by protesters. However, the notification will not be effective on other events organised in coordination with the district administration office.
