Fresh Gen-Z protests erupt in Nepal, curfew imposed in Bara district

Little over two months after fierce Gen-Z protests resulted in a regime change in Nepal, India’s eastern neighbour seems to be on the boil again. Tensions in Nepal’s Bara district escalated on Thursday after authorities re-imposed a daytime curfew following renewed confrontations between Gen-Z protesters and supporters of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist).

The District Administration Office ordered the restriction from 1 pm to 8 pm local time, citing concerns over public safety amid a rapidly intensifying youth-driven movement that entered its second consecutive day on Thursday.
