LALITPUR: A fire set by Gen-Z protesters at the Department of Roads, along with other government offices, remains uncontrolled, officials said on Wednesday.
Deputy Director Prabhat Kumar Jha explained that the blaze, which started on Tuesday, could not be contained earlier due to the absence of fire brigade support.
“The metropolitan office only sent fire trucks this morning. Firefighters are currently working to save the upper floors. We hope this will protect the ground and first floors,” he said.
Jha added that the extent of the damage cannot yet be estimated. “It will take at least two to four days to assess the losses. The office is not operational at the moment, and we are planning to temporarily operate from the old Chakupati office,” he stated.
