KATHMANDU: A protest was held at Maitighar in Kathmandu on Friday following the death of Ganesh Nepali, the 25-year-old man from Mugu who died while undergoing treatment after sustaining severe burn injuries outside the Department of Passports.
The demonstrators gathered after Nepali succumbed to his injuries at Bir Hospital earlier in the day.
During the protest, participants chanted slogans criticizing the government and demanding accountability, alleging that state authorities were responsible for the circumstances that led to Nepali’s death. They also called for action against those found responsible.
The protesters attempted to march from Maitighar towards Bir Hospital but were stopped by police at Bhadrakali after security personnel set up barricades.
