Kathmandu, Sept 9 — Widespread student-led protests broke out across Nepal on Monday, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli. Demonstrations were reported in several parts of the Kathmandu Valley, including Kalanki and Baneshwor in the capital, as well as the Chapagaun-Thecho area of Lalitpur district.
Protesters, mainly university students and youth groups, took to the streets alleging government failure to address unemployment, corruption, and rising living costs. Security forces were deployed to control the gatherings, leading to tense confrontations in some locations.
The demonstrations mark a fresh wave of political unrest in Nepal, adding to mounting pressure on PM Oli’s administration. Opposition parties have voiced support for the students, calling for accountability and urgent reforms.
Authorities have yet to release official figures on arrests or injuries.
