The District Administration Office, Kathmandu, on Friday, extended the curfew clamped in the Baneshwar-Tinkune stretch and surrounding areas until Saturday morning.

In a notice, Chief District Officer Rishiram Tiwari said the curfew would remain in place until 7am tomorrow.

Earlier, the order was enforced from 4:25pm to 10pm today after pro-monarchy forces vandalised and set fire to private homes, shops, media houses, political party offices and government property.

The order prohibits people’s movement, gatherings, rallies, protests, assemblies, and demonstrations within the designated boundaries.

The area extends from Gaushala to the Tribhuvan International Airport, Gairigaun, Tinkune, and Koteshwar. It also includes Koteshwar to Jadibuti Bridge, Koteshwar to Balkumari Bridge, Baneshwar Chowk to Shankhamul Bridge, and Gaushala Chowk to Old Baneshwar and New Baneshwar Chowk.

Two people died, and 45 others were injured in violent clashes between security personnel and pro-monarchy protesters.

As many as seven people who sustained bullet injuries are receiving treatment at various hospitals in Kathmandu. Five individuals are being treated at the Tribhuvan Teaching Hospital in Maharajgunj and two at the National Trauma Centre.
