Certain sources estimated that up to 500.000 people may have come out to protest today. However, at the time of the reporting, demonstrations were largely peaceful. In the mid and far west, a number of demonstrations took place throughout the region. The most significant was in Dhangadi with some 100,000 demonstrators. At the time of the reporting events had evolved peacefully.The increase in prices of vital food items is becoming a concern, in some cases increasing by tenfold. Rice, lentil and cooking oil (part and parcel of Nepali staple) are still available in the market at more or less the pre-April 6 prices but shopkeepers are starting to warn of steep price rise if shortages continue. In the Eastern districts, scarcity of gas, cooking oil and sugar has been observed due to the stock piling of people.UN offices remained closed again today. A number of curfew passes were granted to the UNDSS and OHCHR which allowed them to actively monitor the demonstrations as it had been the practice in the past weeks. #OVERVIEW #MARKETSCLOSED #VEHICLEMOVEMENTS #CURFEW #DEMONSTRATIONS #POLITICAL #CPNMAOIST #UML #DEMINSTRATIONSINTHECAPITAL #PEACEFUL #DEMINSTRATIONINTHECOUNTRY #SECURITYFORCES #PUBLICINFORMATIONADVOCACY #UNHUMANITARIAN #HUMANITARIANISSUES #UNRESPONSE
