Local authorities in Kathmandu and Lalitpur reduced the night curfew within the Ring Road area by one hour on Sunday, starting at 11:00 p.m.

The curfew will remain effective until 4:00 a.m. on Monday, notices issued by the district administrations of Kathmandu and Lalitpur said.

The government had imposed curfew in the capital last Monday– two days after one dozen security personnel were killed in simultaneous Maoist attacks on two police posts in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur districts.

The district administrations in their notices said the security forces have been allowed to shoot anybody trying to break the curfew orders.
