PROTESTS IN NEPAL In Nepal, on September 4, access to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, X, Reddit, and LinkedIn platforms was blocked on the grounds that no applications were made within the time given to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology of Nepal. In response, protesters, mostly young people, marched towards the parliament building to protest against the social media ban as well as allegations of corruption.
In the escalating protests, the police used water cannons, tear gas, and live ammunition against the protesters. Subsequently, the Nepalese government announced that the social media ban would be lifted, and Interior Minister Ramesh Lekhak, Minister of Agriculture and Livestock Ramnath Adhikari, and Minister of Water Supply Pradeep Yadav announced their resignations.

The central office of the Nepal Congress Party in the Sanepa region, the federal parliament building, the Supreme Court building, and two residences of Nepal's Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli were set on fire. The Nepalese army began evacuating ministers from their residences by helicopter due to the increasing incidents. A statement from the Prime Minister's Office of Nepal announced yesterday that Prime Minister Oli had resigned following the violent protests and the backlash against the government.
In the Lumbini province in the west of the country, about 1000 protesters set fire to some government vehicles at Gautam Buddha International Airport, and a decision was made to keep airports closed across the country for a while.
