The protest organisers are using social media to share details about protest routes and safety measures. They encouraged students to participate in their school uniforms and carry books.
Images shared by Kathmandu Times showed young people carrying banners and chanting slogans. One of the images showed a group of boys carrying a large banner that read, ‘Gen Z movement in Nepal’. Another banner read: “Say no to corruption, say yes to integrity.”
The protest has spread to regions such as Biratnagar, Birgunj, Dang, Butwal, Hetauda, Narayangadh and Surkhet, according to Nepal News.
The demonstrations in Kathmandu turned violent after a group of protestors breached one of the gates of the Parliament and set parts of it on fire, the Nepal News report added. They also smashed the walls with stones.
