🇳🇵Two people were killed and 30 were injured during protests demanding the restoration of the monarchy in Nepal.

The rally had been organised by groups loyal to the former King Gyanendra Shah, who was ousted in 2008. The trouble began when some protesters in a white pickup drove at a police barricade, colliding with several officers.

On the other side of the capital, thousands of people who support the present republican system of government gathered for a counter rally, including the Maoists, who fought an armed rebellion from 1996-2006 to oust the monarchy.
