Curfew in Kathmandu, Lalitpur to start at 10:00 p.m.

Local authorities in Kathmandu and Lalitpur have reduced curfew hours within the Ring Road area by one hour on Saturday. The curfew will be enforced overnight from 10:00 p. m. until 4:00 a.m. on Sunday.

The curfew orders will remain in force until further notice, an official announcement said.

The government had imposed curfew in the capital beginning 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. nepalnews.com by Jan 21 06
