Gen Z protests in Nepal’s Bara district, 10 injured

Fresh tension erupted Thursday as 10 people were injured after Gen Z youths clashed with members of the ousted prime minister K P Sharma Oli’s party, prompting authorities to reimpose curfew to contain the situation in Nepal’s Bara district bordering India.

Tension escalated in Simara Chowk in Bara district as youths returned to the streets a day after clashing with



cadres of Oli’s Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) (CPN-UML) accusing police of failing to arrest individuals named in their complaint over Wednesday’s clashes, The Kathmandu Post said.

Protesters gathered at Simara Chowk from 11 am. Local administration at Bara had imposed a curfew from 1 pm to 8 pm (local time) to prevent possible loss of life and property.
