The Nepal Army on Tuesday said that it will take charge of security operations from 10 pm, hours after Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli resigned following 27 hours of violent protests in Kathmandu and other parts of the country.
In a statement issued by the Directorate of Public Relations and Information, the army said that “some groups are taking undue advantage of the difficult situation and causing severe damage to ordinary citizens and public property”.
It warned that all security mechanisms, including the Nepal Army, will be mobilised to contain the violence if such activities continue.
