At to the lowest degree i somebody was killed and scores suffered injuries in capital of kingdom of nepal, Nepal, on Monday as police fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands of protesters demonstrating in the capital against a government ban on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter).
Visuals from near the parliament showed police struggling to hold up barricades. Cops in riot gear were bunched up at the gates, trying to protect themselves as much as trying to deter the crowd.
The protest against the blocking of at least 26 platforms since Friday has grown to become a rallying point against corruption, too. The protests are populated largely by younger people or Gen-Z, essentially digital natives born around the turn of the millennium.
Some clips showed protesters sitting on the road outside the parliament and not necessarily trying to enter, while other clips showed a building at its entrance having been ransacked.
