A curfew has been imposed in Nepal's Bara territorial dominion after youths identifying themselves as Gen Z returned to the streets a daylight after clashing with CPN-UML cadres, ANI reported.
Protesters continued to collect on the streets of Simara, piquant in clashes with police force since early morning.
In view of the development, authorities have imposed a curfew from 1pm to 8pm (local time).
"Curfew has been reimposed following the clash with the police to bring the situation under control," assistant chief district officer Chhabiraman Subedi confirmed to ANI.
The development comes a day after six Gen Z" protestors were injured in clashes on Wednesday.
According to ANI, tension began in the district after UML (Unified Marxist-Leninist) leaders planned to visit the district ahead of the election scheduled for March 5, 2026.
The Police also fired teargas canisters after the confrontation escalated near Simara Airport, forcing the airport to halt operations.
In September, at least 76 people were killed during demonstrations that were triggered by anger over a brief government ban on social media and led by protesters under the loose "Gen Z" umbrella title.
The protesters had forced then-Prime Minister and Chairman of UML KP Oli to step down from the post. Former Nepal Chief Justice Sushila Karki, 73, was sworn in as the country’s first woman prime minister of an interim government.
