Clash erupts between Nepal Police & RPP protestors demanding monarchy and Nepal as Hindu Rashtra

The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has demonstrated in Kathmandu on Tuesday to press for the fulfilment of its 40-point demand submitted to the government.

A clash took place between the demonstrators and security personnel at Bhadrakali road after the rally gathered from different places in the city and tried to enter the prohibited area. The police had to use water cannon, lathi charge and fire some teargas shells to bring the demonstration under control.

As per the sources, fourteen RPP demonstrators were also injured in the course of the protest. Traffic in Kathmandu Valley was disrupted due to demonstration, diverting regular routes and creating chaos. No vehicular movement was seen on the main road of Singha Durbar for around two hours in the evening.
