Kathmandu, March 19
Kathmandu Metropolitan Police are initiating a special security plan for Wednesday’s Holi festival. Police have said they will arrest anyone who applies colours or throws water balloons without consent.
A meeting of the District Security Committee has come up with other rules and regulation for this year’s Holi festival.
SSP Basanta Kumar Lama said that anyone showing abusive behaviour will be arrested immediately. “Anyone who has been hit by a water balloon without consent can call us at 100 and we will take actions accordingly,” said Lama.
Lama informed that Metropolitan Police had already prepared a work plan and said that around 1,700 police will be mobilised on Wednesday. “We want people to enjoy but we also want them to be civilised,” he said.
