Unrest In Nepal

Drone visuals from Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, captured the scale of unrest on Tuesday as violent protests against alleged government corruption continued to intensify in the city.

Inview of the situation, Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Tuesday announced that he has called an all-party meeting at 6 pm to discuss the ongoing crisis.

“I am in dialogue with the relevant parties to assess the situation and find a meaningful conclusion. For that, I have also called an all-party meeting at 6 pm today. I humbly request all brothers and sisters to remain calm in this difficult situation,” Oli said.

The KP Sharma Oli government on Monday, rolled back its ban on social media platforms following violent clashes that left at least 19 protesters dead and more than 300 injured.

In a statement issued amid protests, Prime Minister Oli acknowledged the turmoil, saying the government’s move and “ambiguity between the Z generation” had contributed to the “unpleasant incident”.
