Balendra Shah has launched major reforms days after taking office. He banned student politics on campuses and said education must be free from party control. He plans non-political student bodies within 90 days. Critics warn it may limit democratic space. His government also barred civil servants from party links. Former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was arrested over last year’s protests. Shah said justice will be ensured. Families of students killed in the protests will get jobs. In a message to Narendra Modi, he said he is “eager to work closely,” signaling a cautious reset in ties. (PC: India Today)
