Nepal in Crisis: Protesters Shut Kathmandu Airport, Finance Minister Attacked | India Today News

Protests in Nepal have escalated, leading to a shutdown of Kathmandu International Airport. Protesters are reportedly coordinating on social media platforms like Discord, appealing for the use of drones, fireworks, and laser lights to disrupt aircraft. Multiple international flights, including from Delhi and Bangkok, have been forced into holding patterns, unable to land. The situation turned violent as Nepal’s Finance Minister, Bishnu Prasad Podel, was reportedly beaten up by protesters. Additionally, the home of the Communications Minister was set on fire in Lalitpur. Amid fears that government leaders are attempting to flee the country, the airport has become a focal point of the demonstrations, with one report stating, “no aircraft has landed since past 2 hours.” #nepal #nepalcrisis #kathmandu #itwebvideos #protests #airportshutdown #kathmanduairport #civilunrest #bishnuprasadpodel #nepalpolitics #breakingnews #southasia #flightscancelled #indiatoday #discord #prayfornepal
