Nepal said protests against its new Constitution have
abated, just hours after police opened fire on a crowd and injured three
in the east of the Himalayan nation.
The Home
Ministry said on Tuesday that curfews imposed amid weeks of violent
demonstrations that left more than 40 dead are now being relaxed in
parts of the country.
The Nepal Oil Corporation said
Indian oil tankers are refusing to enter Nepal because of security
concerns, and trucks carrying cargo from India were also stopping short
of the border.
While many in Nepal cheered Sunday’s
adoption of a new Constitution after a 10-year effort, some ethnic
groups said concerns over defining state borders were ignored.
