The situation is getting out of control due to the violence spread during the protest of Gen Ji against government corruption in Nepal. In such a situation, tourists who went to Nepal and Indian citizens living there returned to India by crossing the Indo-Nepal border at Panitanki in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. After coming to India, the citizens said that they feel good now. It feels like life has come back.

 

Kohila, a resident of Assam who returned from Nepal, said that the situation there is out of control. The strike will continue for 10-15 days. We are from Assam and are returning from Nepal. It feels good to return to India. Life has come back. On Wednesday, a high alert was issued on the Indo-Nepal border. At the same time, the Kathmandu Embassy also appealed to the Indians to be cautious and not to go out of the house.

 

MEA issued an advisory

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued travel advice for Indian citizens in view of the current situation in Nepal. At the same time, the ongoing employment crisis in Nepal has led to about 5,000 youths leaving the country every day in search of work abroad. This has further increased the unrest.

 

Situation unstable, PM resigns.

 

The situation in Nepal remains unstable amid the protests of Gen Ji. This movement of students and young citizens is demanding more accountability and transparency from the government. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on Tuesday after violent protests in many parts of the country.

 

Protests began on September 8 in Kathmandu and other major cities, including Pokhara, Butwal, and Birgunj. The protesters are demanding an end to institutional corruption and bias in governance. They want the government to be more accountable and transparent in its decision-making process. The protesters are also demanding the removal of the ban on social media platforms, which they consider an attempt to suppress freedom of expression.

 

Chaos increased after the ban on social media.

The Gen-G movement, which started on Monday after the ban on 26 social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, became more violent on Tuesday despite the government lifting the ban late on Monday night. Defying curfew and heavy security arrangements in the capital Kathmandu, the protesters set fire and vandalized Singha Durbar, Parliament House, Supreme Court, Special Court, President's residence, houses of top leaders, and offices of various parties.

 

Singha Durbar has been completely reduced to ashes. It houses the offices of the PM and ministers. PM Oli's private houses in Balakot and Janakpur, former PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, Communications Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung, former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, Energy Minister Deepak Khadka's Budhanilkanth house, and Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa's Ratopul residence were targeted. So far, at least 20 people have been killed and 500 injured in clashes with security forces. Curfew was imposed in many cities, including Kathmandu, to control the situation.
