Violent clashes erupted between pro-monarchy demonstrators and security forces on Friday in Kathmandu resulting in two deaths and injuries to 30 people. The Nepalese Army was deployed, and a curfew was imposed in parts of Kathmandu on Friday.

A curfew has been imposed following incidents of arson and vandalism carried out by pro-monarchy protesters in several parts of Kathmandu on Friday. The Nepal Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse pro-monarchy demonstrators who torched a house and tried to break security barricades.

The situation escalated when pro-monarchy protesters attempted to breach the designated security cordon, throwing stones at police. In response, security forces fired tear gas to disperse the crowd,

Nepal abolished its 240-year-old monarchy in 2008 through a parliamentary declaration, transforming the former Hindu kingdom into a secular, federal, democratic republic. Calls for the restoration of the monarchy have resurfaced after the former king appealed for public support in a video message broadcast on Democracy Day, February 19.
