“The country should have developed considerably. People should have had better chances of vacancies, peace and security and good governance. We should not have been corruption,” Mina Subedi, 55, who became a member of the demonstration, told AFP.
“But things have only deteriorated.”
Protesters gathered in the vicinity of the National Parliament that the king and the country 'more expensive for us than life'.
Spokesperson for the Dinesh Kumar Achanya police told AFP that the police fired tear gas and water cannon to release the protesters after being broken into a limited area and destroyed buildings.

Opposition parties have drawn up thousands of more people at a counter -demonstration elsewhere in the capital to “protect the Republican system”.
“Nepalis will not return to the past,” said Pushpa Kamal Dahal, a former Guerrilla chef who led the ten-year-old Maoist uprising before he enters politics and has since served three times as prime minister.
“Maybe they dared to increase their heads because supporters of the American Republic have not been able to deliver according to the wishes and wishes of the people.”
King Gyanendra Shah, 77, had largely apart from commentary on Nepal's Breuke politics, but recently made various public performances with supporters.
Shah was crowned in 2001 after his older brother King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah and his family were killed in a bloodbath in a palace that won the majority of the royal family.
His coronation took place when the Maoist rebellion raged in distant corners of Nepal.
Shah suspended the Constitution and dissolved the parliament in 2005, causing a democratic uprising in which the Maoists chose the side of Nepal's political establishment to orchestrate huge street protests.
That ultimately crashed the end of the conflict, whereby the parliament voted in 2008 to abolish the 240-year-old Hindu monarchy of Nepal.
