At least 20 people have been killed and over 250 injured in Nepal after youth-led protests against government corruption and a social media crackdown turned violent. The unrest in Kathmandu saw thousands of 'Gen Z' demonstrators clash with police, who used live ammunition, tear gas, and water cannons. The protests erupted after the KP Sharma Oli government blocked 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and X, for failing to register with the communications ministry. While the government calls it a regulatory move, protesters see it as an assault on digital freedom. One protester stated the youth are now awake and will run the country, expressing frustration with corruption. An emergency cabinet meeting has been held, and a curfew is imposed in parts of the capital as the situation remains critical, with schools and colleges shut. #nepalprotests #genzrevolution #socialmediaban #itwebvideos #digitalrights #youthprotest #standwithnepal #freedomofspeech #policebrutality #internetshutdown #kpoli #corruption #indiatoday #nepalnews Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
