At least 10 people have been reported killed as police fired at protesters, mostly Nepal’s tech-savvy Generation Z, on Monday (September 8, 2025) who took over the streets of Kathmandu and other major cities to protest against corruption and the government’s recent ban on social media platforms.
As the protest escalated, demonstrators marched towards Nepal’s federal parliament building in New Baneshwor. Security forces reinforced barricades, but protesters broke through the police cordon and entered the parliament premises, chanting slogans against leaders, including Prime Minister K.P. Sharma ‘Oli’, and demanding he “leave the country.”
The Kathmandu District Administration Office imposed a curfew from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. in several areas, including Baneshwor, Shital Niwas (the President’s residence), Lainchaur (Vice-President’s residence), Baluwatar (Prime Minister’s residence), and Singha Durbar (the government complex).
