Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Nepal's violent protests "heart-wrenching" after at least 19 people died in Gen-Z led demonstrations that forced PM KP Sharma Oli's resignation. Modi emphasized Nepal's stability is crucial for India and appealed for peace among "brothers and sisters" in Nepal. The Cabinet Committee on Security discussed developments during Modi's return from Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. India's MEA expressed sadness over young lives lost, urging restraint and peaceful dialogue as a "close friend and neighbor." Protests initially erupted over social media platform bans but escalated into anti-corruption demonstrations. Despite the ban's reversal, protesters torched Parliament, presidential residence, Supreme Court, and political leaders' homes. Former PM Jhalanath Khanal's wife died from burn injuries.
