Prime Minister Balen Shah is facing growing protests in Nepal weeks after taking office. Demonstrations have spread across Kathmandu and reached Singha Durbar. Students and political groups are opposing the government’s move to sideline student unions. Many called it a “repressive approach”. Another trigger is a customs duty on goods brought from India, which residents say affects daily needs. Protesters are also demanding the resignation of Home Minister Sudan Gurung over alleged financial issues. The government now faces pressure on multiple fronts. (PC: India Today)
