Renovation work begins at Finance Ministry after Gen-Z protests



KATHMANDU: The Ministry of Finance has begun repainting and renovation work following damage caused during the Gen-Z protests on September 8 and 9.

Several other administrative buildings also suffered arson and destruction.

Authorities have now started cleaning and repainting the affected ministries and offices to restore them to operation.
