Gunfire near the Nepal President’s residence, which left one person injured, intensified the turmoil as anti-government protests entered their second consecutive day on Tuesday. The unrest, led largely by students, erupted across multiple districts in open defiance of restrictions on public gatherings, with demonstrators demanding Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli’s resignation.As the violence escalated, Oli announced that he has convened an all-party meeting at 6 pm to address the crisis. “I am in dialogue with the relevant parties to assess the situation and find a meaningful conclusion. For that, I have also called an all-party meeting at 6 pm today. I humbly request all brothers and sisters to remain calm in this difficult situation,” the Prime Minister said.Crowds gathered in Kalanki and Baneshwor areas of Kathmandu, as well as the Chapagaun-Thecho belt in Lalitpur district. Eyewitnesses reported that demonstrators in Kalanki blocked roads from early morning by burning tyres, chanting slogans such as “Don’t kill students”, “KP Chor, Desh Chhod” (K P Sharma Oli is a thief, quit the country), and “Take action against corrupt leaders.”In Lalitpur’s Sunakothi, agitators pelted stones at the residence of Communication Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung, who had earlier ordered the ban on social media platforms. Protesters also vandalised the home of former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ in Khumaltar and staged demonstrations outside the residence of another former premier, Sher Bahadur Deuba, in Budhanilkantha.The protests mark a sharp escalation in youth-led opposition to the government following the controversial social media restrictions.
