India issued an advisory for its citizens in Nepal after violent Gen Z protests left at least 20 dead and over 300 injured. The protests erupted after the government banned 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube. Demonstrators clashed with police, who used bullets, tear gas, and water cannons. Curfews were imposed in Kathmandu and other cities, and the army was deployed. Nepal Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak resigned, taking responsibility. Later, the government withdrew the ban following intense pressure. India urged citizens to remain cautious and expressed sorrow over the deaths of many young protesters. (PC: India Today)
