Tension in New Baneswor as protests escalate



KATHMANDU: The New Baneswor area remains tense amid ongoing protests led by the Gen-Z movement.

An armed police officer was injured during the clashes and has been taken for medical treatment. Both police and some protesters reportedly assisted in transporting the injured officer.
