Kathmandu, March 21 Six people were injured after a clash between two communities turned violent, prompting the local administration to impose restrictive orders for an indefinite period in the Kapilvastu district in southern Nepal on Saturday.
The Kapilvastu District Administration Office enforced restrictive orders in parts of the Maharajgunj municipality on Saturday for an indefinite period.
A group of Hindus celebrating the Navaratri festival were reciting bhajans in the Bargadwa area of Maharajgunj municipality when a group of Muslims celebrating Eid opposed them, saying the music was too loud, police said.
The friction resulted in the clash between the two groups, and as the clash turned violent, injuring several people, police said that they used batons and tear gas to disperse the crowd.
The local administration soon imposed restrictive orders to prevent the situation from further deteriorating.
According to the order, any type of mass gathering, demonstration, or rally was prohibited from 2 pm onwards until further notice.
