Talks Begin Between Gen-Z Representatives and Local Administration in Nepal’s Bara District

Talks have begun between representatives of Gen-Z and the local administration at the Armed Police Force headquarters in Pathlaiya in Bara District of Nepal. Eighteen people from the Gen-Z group, along with Chief District Officer and heads of various security agencies, are participating in the discussions on behalf of the local administration on Friday evening.

The situation in Bara had been tense due to conflicts between Gen-Z groups and CPN (UML) cadres in Simara, which led to a two-day curfew imposed by the local administration. The Gen-Z protesters accused the CPN (UML) cadres of assaulting them and demanded action against those responsible. In response, the police arrested three individuals in connection with the incident.

Meanwhile, on Friday individuals injured during the Gen-Z demonstrations on September 8-9 staged a sit-in at Maitighar of Kathmandu. The demonstrators called for accountability from those who used force during the protests and for the establishment of justice.
