Nepal: New curfew hits pro-democracy protests
Nepal’s royal government imposed a new curfew today in the capital Kathmandu and surrounding areas where clashes between security forces and tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters a day earlier left at least three dead.
The 9am-8pm curfew would cover Kathmandu and the suburbs of Lilitpur and Bhaktapur, the notice over state-run Radio Nepal said.
