Nepal Saturday marked the fourth anniversary of the day when democracy was reinstated in the country, ending the direct rule of former King Gyanendra Shah following the 19-day people's movement steered by the erstwhile seven-party alliance and backed by then underground CPN (Maoist).
To mark the end of the dictatorial rule and the reinstatement of democracy, Loktantra Diwas was observed with several functions across the country. A special function was being organised at the army pavilion, Tundikhel, Kathmandu, which was attended by President Ram Baran Yadav, Vice President Parmananda Jha, Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal, Constituent Assembly (CA) chairman Subash Chandra Nemwang, political leaders, top bureaucrats, and diplomats, among others.
The special function began with a helicopter displaying a banner emblazoned with 'Loktantra Diwas' and showering flowers. Various TV channels aired the function live.
