5Live With Sonal: Nepal Burns Over Social Media Ban; WHO Declares Weight-Loss Drugs 'Essential'

This video examines escalating unrest in Nepal following the government’s ban on 26 social media platforms for failing to register locally. Youth-led protests have resulted in 16 deaths and over 100 injuries across Kathmandu, Pokhara, and other cities, with demonstrators citing long-standing grievances and government corruption as underlying causes. Separately, the World Health Organization has added GLP-1 anti-obesity drugs, including Ozempic and Manjaro, to its essential medicines list for managing type 2 diabetes, a move expected to influence health policies and improve access in over 150 countries. The segment also explores the trend of using weight-loss drugs like Manjaro and Ozempic in India, specifically addressing ‘microdosing’ practices. It discusses the promise of rapid weight loss against the risks of severe side effects, which have led to lawsuits abroad, and features expert commentary on the medical and legal validity of such approaches, alongside details on Manjaro’s official launch and cost in India, and questions surrounding safety, supervision, and global access of these GLP-1 drugs. #nepalprotests #socialmediaban #weightlossdrugs #nepal #kathmandu #youthunrest #pressfreedom #corruption #who #healthnews #glp1 #ozempic #microdosing #essentialmeds #globalhealth #fivelive #weightloss #manjaro #health #diabetes #indianhockey #asiacup2025 #champions #swadeshi #makeinindia #vocalforlocal #gst #pmmodi #iphone17
