Dharan — A Gen Z protest in Itahari turned violent, leading to police gunfire that killed one person, whose identity has not yet been confirmed.

As the situation spiraled out of control, authorities imposed an indefinite curfew. According to Sunsari Chief District Officer Dharmendra Kumar Mishra, the curfew extends from Milan Chowk through Jutbikas to the Commission Office in the east, Kalanki Chowk in the west, Halgada in the north, and Sathi Petrol Pump to the bus park in the south.

Protesters reportedly entered the sub-metropolitan area during the demonstrations, launching attacks and setting fires.
