In a significant political development, both the Home Minister and Agriculture Minister have resigned amid mounting pressure.Protestors, like youth leader Ashika Bode, vow to continue the agitation until KP Sharma Oli steps down. The situation remains highly volatile, with fears of further violence. The world watches as Nepal faces one of its most critical democratic challenges.
