Kathmandu: The Nepal government announced restrictions on protests in most parts of Kathmandu, given the continued protests by pro-monarchy supporters.
Sit-ins, hunger strikes, protests, public gatherings, and demonstrations are prohibited within the Kathmandu ring road area except three places -- Koteshwor, Balkhu and Sifal ground, a notice from Kathmandu District Administrative Office said.
The restriction will be effective from June 2 for the next two months, the notice said, adding that they have been imposed to avoid possible disruption of business activities and transportation services by protesters.
