The Nepal Police fired thousands of people gathered in Kathmandu to disperse the tear gas and water cannon, demanding the restoration of the monarchy, motivating the authorities to impose curfew in the area.
The Himalayan nation adopted a federal and Republican political system in 2008, when Parliament ended the monarchy as part of a peace agreement, ending a decade long civil war responsible for more than 16,000 deaths.
Support to restoration of Hinduism re -enhanced Hinduism as the religion of the state has increased with popular dissatisfaction over political instability, corruption and lack of economic development.

AFP told AFP, “The country should have developed significantly. People should have had job opportunities, peace and security and good governance. We should have been corruption-free.”
“But things have only deteriorated.”
The protesters gathered to the National Parliament that the king and the country were “dear to us compared to life.
Police spokesman Dinesh Kumar Acharya told AFP that the police removed tear gas and water cannon to clean the protesters after breaking up in a restricted area and barbaric buildings.
Local authorities announced a curfew in the region after the struggle.
Opposition parties miled thousands of more people in a counter-enmonerence in the capital to “protect the Republican system”.
“Naples will not return to the past,” said Pushpa Kamal Dahal, a former guerrilla head, who led the Maoist rebellion of a decade before entering politics and has since served as Prime Minister three times.
“Maybe he dared to lift his head because pro -American Republic has not been able to distribute according to the wishes and wishes of the people.”
77 -year -old Raja Gyanendra Shah avoided commenting on Nepal’s terrible politics, but recently made several public demonstrations with supporters.
Shah was crowned in 2001 after his elder brother King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah and his family was killed in a palace massacre, which erased most of the royal family.
His coronation took place because the Maoist rebellion was fierce in far-flung corners of Nepal.
Shah suspended the constitution and dissolved the Parliament in 2005, with a democratic rebellion in which the Maoists orchestrated the huge road protests with the political establishment of Nepal.
Finally ended the end of the struggle, with Parliament voting in 2008 to end the 240 -year -old Hindu monarchy of Nepal.
