Following the announcement of republic, the Narayanhiti palace authority has removed the royal flag from the main tower of the palace Thursday morning.
The flag had been the insignia of the royal shah dynasty. Now the government plans to put up the national flag later today.
A group of people tried raising national flag at the front gate of the palace but were dispersed due to police intervention.
The police also mercilessly beat some youths who tried to raise national flag on top of the King's Mahendra's statue at King's Way.
A group of people chanted slogan in favour of republic asking former king Gyanendra Shah to vacate the palace immediately.
The historic constituent assembly on Wednesday had asked the government to turn the royal palace into a national museum and instructed the government to order Gyanendra to vacate the palace within 15 days
