At least 19 people, including a 12-year-old, died and over 300 were injured as Gen-Z protesters clashed with police in Kathmandu, Nepal. The demonstrations were sparked by the government’s ban on 26 social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, and anger over corruption. Protesters broke curfew and entered restricted zones near Parliament, prompting army deployment. Police used water cannons, teargas, and rubber bullets. Curfews were extended in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Amid unrest, Nepal Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak resigned. The government may lift the social media ban. Young protesters demanded free expression and an end to institutional corruption. (PC: NDTV)
