Kathmandu, December 21

The District Administration Office in Kathmandu has extended its prohibition on protests in key areas, including Maitighar Mandala, the President’s Office, the Prime Minister’s residence in Baluwatar, and other locations that include the residences of ministers.

Originally imposed for 30 days last month, the prohibition order has been renewed for an additional two months.

The District Administration Office said it is continuing the ban to maintain public order and security in these significant areas.

Jitendra Basnet, the Chief District Officer of Kathmandu, has said that due to the frequent assemblies, hunger strikes, sit-ins, and protests taking place at the residences, offices, and administrative centres of high-ranking officials, as well as on the main access routes, a ban has been imposed on such activities.

The prohibition extends to gatherings of more than five people in these designated areas. This measure is likely implemented to maintain public order, safeguard the security of officials, and ensure the smooth functioning of administrative operations in the specified locations.
