Kathmandu, Jun 1 (PTI) The Nepali government on Sunday announced restrictions on protests in most parts of Kathmandu, given the continued protests by pro-monarchy supporters.

Sit-ins, hunger strikes, protests, public gatherings and demonstrations are prohibited within the Kathmandu ring road area except three places -- Koteshwor, Balkhu and Sifal ground, a notice from Kathmandu District Administrative Office said.

However, the notice will not affect other programmes organised in coordination with the district administrative office.

Meanwhile, the police have released seven pro-monarchy supporters, including former home minister Kamal Thapa, who were detained for trying to enter a restricted area in Kathmandu on Sunday afternoon.

The pro-monarchy supporters demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy and the establishment of a Hindu state have been organising indefinite protest programmes since Thursday.

They carried photographs of former king Gyanendra Shah and chanted slogans against the Prime Minister K P Oli-led government.

The protesters said they would continue the protest until the monarchy was restored.
