KATHMANDU: Dozens of Nepalis living in British Capital and other parts of the country on Thursday protested visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to London, accusing the latter of imposing an unofficial blockade on Nepal.

The protesters clad in traditional Nepali dresses including the Dhaka Topi resorted to street protests, holding Nepali national flags and placards with anti-India and anti-Modi messages and slogans.

The agitators accused India of imposing an blockade on Nepal to express its dissatisfaction over the newly promulgated Constitution.

They claimed it was against Nepal's transport rights as a land-locked nation and related international trade laws and treaties.

They had gathered in front of the British Prime Minister's Office at 10 Downing Street from the early afternoon.

Various organisations of Nepali diaspora had led the demonstration.

Modi embarked on the three-day official visit to Britain on Thursday.
