[World News]: Kathmandu, Mar 18 : Nepal's authorities have warned the country's media to guard against publication of any news item that contradicts the royal proclamation issued by King Gyanendra after he seized power on February one.
Nepal's King had clamped press censorship after taking over power. Media in the Himalayan Kingdom had protested the strictures against it by leaving editorial pages blank.
The government has prohibited until six months from February 2, publication of interviews, articles, information or news that directly or indirectly goes against the Royal Proclamation or instigates terrorist activities, the Kathmandu District Administration Office said in a communique, the National News Agency said.
The notice comes a day after police interrogated the editor of Nepalese language 'Kantipur' daily for publishing a news report detailing the arrests made during anti-government demonstrations last week.
