Although the Kaski District Administration Office issued a prohibitory order around Sahid Chowk and the District Police Office around Gairapatan, the workers of the RSP breached the prohibitory order and protested at Sahid Chowk on Sunday.


On Sunday, the Kaski District Court granted permission to the police to detain Lamichhane for additional six days for investigation into his alleged involvement in embezzlement of co-operative funds.
