Nepali police officers salute as people watch the son (R) of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Laxman Neupane cremate his father, who was killed in Monday's protest at Tikapur in Kailali district, in Kathmandu, Nepal August 25, 2015. Soldiers patrolled the small border town in Nepal's far west on Tuesday after nine people, most of them police, were killed in attacks by protesters angered by government reforms. Authorities imposed a curfew and mobilised the army on Monday to quell protests in Tikapur in Kailali district, which is close to the border with India. The protesters, mainly from the ethnic Tharu community, oppose a plan to include their area in a hilly province, part of a regional overhaul in a new federal constitution expected to be finalised this month.
