The district administration office of Humla has declared indefinite curfew in the district headquarters Simikot and surrounding areas from 12:00 Wednesday noon following violent clashes between the cadres of Nepali Congress and Unified CPN (Maoists).
Clashes started following a dispute over money-lending between a NC cadre and a Maoist, reports said.
The protesting cadres of NC and UCPN (M) vandalised each other's party offices.
Hundreds of cadres of the two parties staged angry protests, brandishing kukuris and batons in Simikot. Before the curfew orders, the NC cadres had shut down marketplaces, protesting the 'Maoist attack' on their cadres
