Kathmandu, Nepal – After five days of deadly violence and intense negotiations, the Nepali Army has lifted the curfew entirely this morning. No fresh notice regarding restrictions has been issued, signaling a return to normalcy across the country.
Streets in Kathmandu and other major cities are witnessing normal traffic movements for the first time in nearly a week. Residents are cautiously venturing out, while shops and markets are opening gradually. Local authorities have urged citizens to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines as life slowly regains its routine.
The curfew had been imposed following clashes that resulted in multiple casualties and widespread unrest. Over the past few days, the government and security forces held hectic parleys to restore peace, while ensuring essential services continued to operate.
Though the immediate threat of violence has subsided, the atmosphere remains tense in some areas, with security personnel maintaining a visible presence. Analysts suggest that the situation will require continued monitoring to prevent any flare-ups.
For now, the lifting of the curfew marks a critical step toward stability, allowing businesses to reopen, students to resume studies, and the citizens of Nepal to reclaim a sense of normal life.
