Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli Resigns, Private Residence Set On Fire

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has alleged the protests by the young against the social media ban were infiltrated by vested interests that resulted in the loss of lives of citizens.

"I am deeply saddened by the tragic incident that took place during the protest called by the Gen-Z generation today," the PM said in a statement.

"While we were confident that our children would peacefully voice their demands, the situation that arose due to the infiltration of the protest by various vested interests has resulted in the tragic loss of citizenslives," he said.

The protesters vandalised the residence of former prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' at Khumaltar in Lalitpur, PTI reported.

Bhaktapur district administration also imposed restrictions from 8:30 am until further notice in Madhyapur Thimi, Suryabinayak, Changunarayan and Bhaktapur municipalities, it further said.
