Nepal's army deployed patrols on the streets, as the Himalayan nation reeled from its worst unrest in decades. The prime minister quit and politicians' homes were vandalised, and government buildings and parliament were torched.

The streets of Nepal's capital have a heavy military presence, with barricades erected outside parliament and the supreme court.
