The protests in Kathmandu erupted in response to the government's decision to block social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, accusing them of not being registered and lacking oversight. Thousands of people gathered around Parliament, and confrontations with riot police escalated, culminating in the opening of fire by law enforcement. The number of victims increased, and the protests continued even after the violent incidents.
