Curfew imposed in Kathmandu and Lalitpur (18:50 pm)

Two days after the Maoist rebels attacked two police posts in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur districts kiiling one dozen policemen, local administrations of Kathmandu and Lalitpur districts have imposed curfew orders from 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. with effect from Monday.

Issuing separate public notices, the District Administration Offices (DAO) of Kathmandu and Lalitpur said the curfew orders have been imposed in order to maintain security.

The curfew orders will be effective in areas within the Ring Road in Kathmandu Metropolitan City and Lalitpur Sub-metropolitan City until further notice.

The DAOs in their notices said security forces have been allowed to shoot anybody trying to break the curfew orders. nepalnews.com mk Jan 16 06
