Curfew and Prohibitory Order Lifted in Kathmandu Valley, Life Returning to Normal

The curfew and prohibitory order imposed in the Kathmandu Valley since last Tuesday have been lifted starting Saturday. The decision came into effect immediately after the appointment of the new Prime Minister on Friday night.

While the Nepal Army had been deployed on the streets until Friday evening to maintain security, their presence has not been seen since Saturday morning. However, the Army has not released any formal notice. According to officials, no announcement was necessary since the removal of the prohibitory order also ended the need for active deployment.

With the restrictions lifted, daily life in the Valley is expected to return to normal. Nonetheless, the Nepal Army has stated that it remains on standby. A senior Army official confirmed that although the curfew and prohibitory order have been lifted following the formation of the new government, the Army is staying alert and prepared in case of possible protests or demonstrations.
