One of the most favourite spots for protesters and demonstrators has now been made off-limits for them by the government.

The District Administration Office of Kathmandu has banned rallies, protests, sit-ins and demonstrations from the roundabout of Maitighar Mandala.

Stating that the decision was taken in consideration of the city environment and aesthetic beauty, the DAO has asked protestors to stay away from the place.

Khula Manch or the Open Theater, however, has been designated as the alternative to the demonstrators. nepalnews.com sd Nov 03 08
