On March 28, 2025, violent clashes erupted in Kathmandu, Nepal, as thousands of pro-monarchy supporters rallied to demand the restoration of the monarchy and the re-establishment of Nepal as a Hindu kingdom.
The demonstration, organized by a coalition advocating for former King Gyanendra Shah, turned chaotic when protesters clashed with police, resulting in at least two deaths and numerous injuries.
In response to the unrest, authorities imposed a curfew in several areas of the capital, including Tinkune and Koteshwor, while security forces deployed tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd.
The protests highlighted a growing discontent with the current republican government and reflected a significant divide in public opinion regarding Nepal's political future.
