Nepal authorities imposed curfew until 8 pm Thursday in Bara District after 'Gen-Z' protesters clashed with police at Simara Chowk. Tensions erupted for the second consecutive day as young demonstrators accused police of failing to arrest individuals named in complaints following Wednesday's clash with CPN-UML cadres. Six Gen-Z supporters were injured November 19, leading to complaints against UML cadres near Simara Airport. Police fired tear gas, halting airport operations and detaining two ward chairs. Protests stem from UML leaders' planned district visit ahead of March 2026 elections. Nepal faces political transition after September uprising forced PM KP Oli's resignation, killing 76 people nationwide. (PC: Hindustan Times & Human Rights Watch)
