Kathmandu, Aug 3:
Nepalese authorities on Sunday relaxed the curfew imposed in various parts of Madhesh and Koshi provinces as the security situation improved days after communal violence rocked the region. Three people have been killed in communal violence in Nepal that started after clashes erupted in Sunsari district bordering India in Koshi Province, prompting authorities to impose curfews, prohibitory orders and step up security deployment.
The violence broke out after members of the two communities, who were holding separate programmes, clashed over the use of loudspeakers and the display of religious flags on July 26. The violence soon spread to neighbouring areas. Authorities said that two people were killed in Sunsari district and one in Siraha district.
