As protesters threw stones at them, about 25 police knelt on the ground behind plastic shields. Then, wielding bamboo sticks, the police charged the demonstrators.

Similar clashes were repeated throughout the day along the ring road encircling Nepal's capital, Kathmandu. Police also fired tear gas and rubber bullets at demonstrators who were marching in defiance of a day-long curfew.

It is the 18th straight day of protests. Demonstrators are rejecting an offer made Friday by King Gyanendra to form an interim government. They, along with leaders of seven main opposition parties, say they do not trust the offer, and want parliament reinstated.

The alliance rejected the kings offer to form an interim government, and said the demonstrations would continue. They have not set out a specific agenda for what they will do next.

But local media report opposition leaders are debating whether they should reinstate parliament themselves, thereby setting up their own government to run parallel to that of King Gyanendra.
