KATHMANDU, Sept 1: Tension has flared up at New Baneshwar after the cadres of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party- Nepal (RPP-N) tried to breach the prohibited area on Tuesday.
Police lobbed teargas canisters and water cannon to contain the agitating mob nearing the restricted zone, demanding restoration of Nepal as a Hindu state.
The clash ensued after the two groups of demonstrators – one led by RPP-N and the other by Nepali Congress leader Khum Bahadur Khadka - entered the restricted area from separated places, southing slogans.
