Nepal Protests: 16 Dead As Uprising Against Corruption Shakes Government | India Today

Protests have erupted across small and big cities in Nepal, including Kathmandu, leading to a rising death toll of sixteen and over a hundred injuries. The government has imposed a curfew and called for urgent security and cabinet meetings. While initially perceived as a ‘Gen Z’ movement, participants report that people from all age groups have joined the demonstrations. The protests are fuelled by widespread discontent over government corruption, high taxes, nepotism, and poor governance. An eyewitness stated, ‘We were simply there to show solidarity against corruption and you know how we are all paying such high amount of taxes, but none of that is being reflected into our country’s policies.’ The demonstrations, which an eyewitness claims began peacefully, have escalated, and the opposition has now demanded the Prime Minister’s resignation. #nepalprotests #youthuprising #corruption #itwebvideos #standwithnepal #kathmandu #genz #nepal #civilunrest #politicalcrisis #government #humanrights #southasia #breakingnews #protest #nepalnews
