KATHMANDU: The Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) has expressed deep concern over the damage to public and private property during the recent Gen Z-led protests across the country. The federation also paid tribute to those who lost their lives and wished a speedy recovery for the injured.
In a statement, FNCCI called on the Nepalese government, political parties, and relevant stakeholders to remain sensitive to the youth’s concerns, including dignified employment, self-employment, and proper utilization of government revenue. The federation urged all parties to avoid unnecessary use of force and prevent further unrest, emphasizing the importance of peaceful protests.
“Only through social justice coupled with robust economic growth can dignified, well-paid jobs be ensured,” the FNCCI said. The federation highlighted the need to maintain economic activity and send a positive message during the tourism season, advocating dialogue and cooperation as the path to national prosperity.
To prevent similar incidents in the future, FNCCI appealed to the government, political parties, and Gen Z activists to create an environment that facilitates easy access to public services, protection of independent professions, and promotion of investment and employment opportunities.
