The Kathmandu District Administration has declared a no-protest zone around the Narayanhiti Palace Museum, citing security concerns.

The decision comes in the wake of recent pro-monarchy demonstrations in the Capital City.

Chief District Officer Rishiram Tiwari issued a notice on Friday stating that the restriction will be in place from Saturday until July 8.

The restricted area spans from Kesharmahal Chowk to the southern gate of the Narayanhiti Palace Museum, extending to Jaya Nepal Mode, and from the Mahendra statue to the museum’s southern gate.

Gatherings of more than five people, including sit-ins, demonstrations, rallies, and other protest-related activities, have been prohibited in the designated zone.
