On March 15, the royalists announced a 'decisive' demonstration in Kathmandu. Police deployment was increased in the main squares of Kathmandu since morning to control the demonstration. Anticipating that the royalists would reach the parliament building, security was beefed up there. But the royalists, who could not move forward, created an uproar in three corners.

20 people were shot, 2 people died, 19 people were injured, 5 people are still in the hospital due to the frenzy of the royalists and the confusion and use of force by the security apparatus.

40 structures stoned, vandalized, arson and looted, 69 vehicles damaged. The victims of this loss have their own valuations. Kantipur has tried to look at the events of the same day from different perspectives by interviewing 15 people including relatives of the deceased, injured, security personnel and protesters.
