Nepal’s capital remained tense on Tuesday as authorities in Kathmandu Valley reimposed curfew orders after state violence during Monday’s GenZ-led protest, which left at least 19 dead.
The protests initially called for reform, but turned into bloodshed when police cracked down, sparking outrage across the country.
Soon after, Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak resigned, and on Tuesday, Agriculture Minister Ram Nath Adhikari followed suit.
Both resignations deepened the crisis for Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s government.
The District Administration Office of Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur barred assemblies, rallies, and gatherings, particularly around key entry points in the city, while exempting essential vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, journalists, and air passengers based on their air tickets.
Despite restrictions, irregular protests flared in different areas, with citizens showing their anger both on the streets and online, branding the Oli-led administration a ‘murdered government’.
Several embassies of Western governments, including those of the USA, Australia, Germany, Norway, and the Republic of Korea, are urging restraint and respect for fundamental rights.
