Kathmandu — A team of the Nepali Army was deployed to the Pashupatinath temple area after unruly groups attempted to vandalize the temple gates. Army spokesperson Rajaram Basnet confirmed that troops had already reached the site.
Leaders of the Gen Z protest, however, said that outsiders had infiltrated their demonstrations. One protester remarked, “It was never our plan to carry out arson late into the night. While our demands were moving forward, some anarchic groups entered the temple area and created the situation.”
Gen Z leaders also stated they are ready to join talks called by the President to find a solution. At the same time, they urged people not to set fire to government property, saying a new situation has already emerged.
