Kathmandu,. The Citizen Body of Kathmandu has imposed a fine on former King Gyanendra Shah for the damage to public property and environment during pro -monarchy protests in the capital of Nepal.
The protest was organized on the call of Gyanendra Shah, from which Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) sent a letter to his residence in Maharajganj, the outskirts of Kathmandu. In this letter, KMC asked him to pay compensation of 7,93,000 Nepali rupees. Also, the government has also started the process of canceling their passport. The fine was imposed for improper disposal of waste on roads and pavements, as well as damage to physical structures.
KMC on Saturday issued a fine notice citing violations of the waste management Act, 2020 and Kathmandu Metropolitan City Finance Act, 2021.
According to the report, a tense situation was observed in several parts of Kathmandu on Friday, when pro -monarchy protesters pelted stones, attacked the office of a political party, set fire to vehicles and looted shops in Tinkunabneshwar area of Kathmandu. In this violent clash, two people, including a TV cameraman, died and 110 others were injured.
In a letter sent to Gyanendra Shah (whose copies were also given to the media) KMC said, “The protests organized on the call of the former emperor damaged various properties of the metropolis and influenced the environment of the capital city.”
The organizer of this movement Durga Prasad met Gyanendra Shah a day earlier and received instructions to agitate to demand the restoration of the monarchy and Hindu state. The development happened when the supporters of the monarchy became active since democracy day in February, when Gyanendra Shah said, “The time has come that we take responsibility for protecting the country and bringing national unity.”
Subsequently, the supporters of the monarchy were holding rallies in Kathmandu and other parts of the country, demanding the reinstatement of the 240 -year -old monarchy ended in 2008.
Earlier, on Monday, March 24, a group of leaders of civil society in Nepal criticized Gyanendra Shah for “being politically active for the purpose of restoring the monarchy”. Eight civil society leaders said in a joint statement, “Gyanendra Shah’s into political activism fails his ancestors’ efforts to build nation and pose a threat to their neighbors and the world to weaken the country.”
