The Ministry of Home Affairs of Nepal on Tuesday said appropriate security measures have been taken to prevent any kind of protest activities from taking place on the Nepalese territory in connection with China's lighting of the Olympic torch on Mount Himalaya.
The Ministry stated in a press release that its attention has been drawn towards some of the media dissemination of fabricated and exaggerated news reports that the security personnel have been issued the shoot-at-sight order, in the context of the Nepali government's making of appropriate arrangements to prevent unauthorized anti-China activities from taking place on the Nepalese soil.
The Home Ministry said strong security has been tightened to stringently control anti-China activities and that it has urged the media to disseminate news reports about this without distortion.
