One hospital information officer described tear gas entering medical facilities and creating extremely difficult working conditions for doctors during the protests.

Oli confirmed the government never supported stopping social media use and would ensure proper conditions for its operation while establishing an investigation committee.

Police clashed with crowds in Kathmandu on Monday when protesters broke through barbed wire barriers near parliament resulting in 17 capital deaths and two more in Sunsari district.

Viral TikTok videos contrasting ordinary Nepalis’ struggles with politicians’ children displaying luxury goods fueled protest momentum despite the platform remaining accessible.
