After the protests, the general situation returned to Kathmandu after curfew in the eastern part of the city, lifted at 7 am.

Two persons, including a TV cameraman, were killed and 110 others were injured in clashes between security personnel and pre-state-run protesters.
As the call of Gyanendra Shah was opposed, Balendra Shah, Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC), sent a letter for his residence at Nirmala Nivas in Maharajganj in the outskirts of Kathmandu, in which he was asked to pay Nepali rupee 7,93,000.
In a letter sent to the former emperor, the copies of which were issued to the media, KMC stated that the protest organized with the call of the former emperor had damaged various properties related to the metropolis and affected the atmosphere of the capital city.

The Federation of Nepali Chamber of Commerce (FNCCI) and Nepali Industry and Entrepreneurship Federation also condemned the violence and demanded proper compensation for the damage.
While issuing separate press statements, the two business institutions demanded strict action against those involved in the violence.
“Although everyone has the right to organize and involve peaceful demonstrations with demands, they should not violate the rights of citizens and industrialists to carry forward their business,” he said.
“Loot, arson and personal property attack and loss of human life are condemnable,” FNCCI said.
On Monday, a group of leaders of civil society in Nepal slammed Gyanendra Shah to be “politically active aimed at restoring the monarchy”.
Eight civil society leaders said in a joint statement, “Gyanendra Shah’s political activism affects the nation-building efforts of its ancestors and is in danger of weakening the country before its neighbors and the world.”
Muniriists have become active since the day of democracy in February, when Gyanendra Shah said, “The time has come to protect the country and take responsibility for bringing national unity.” He organized rallies in Kathmandu and other parts of the country, demanding the restoration of the 240 -year -old monarchy ended in 2008.
