Police in Kathmandu fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters opposed to a U.S.-funded infrastructure program that was presented in parliament for ratification on Sunday, witnesses and officials in Nepal's capital said.
Some protesters were injured in the clashes, they said.
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a U.S. government aid agency, agreed in 2017 to provide $500 million in grants to fund a 300-kilometer (187 mile) electricity transmission line and a road improvement project in Nepal.
