Thousands of young Nepalis protested in Kathmandu against the government's ban on 26 social media platforms, leading to clashes with police and multiple casualties. Demonstrators expressed anger over the blackout and broader frustration with corruption, chanting slogans and attempting to storm the Parliament. The government imposed curfews and justified the ban by citing non-compliance with local registration requirements.
