A curfew was imposed in Nepal’s Bara district after Gen Z youth clashed with supporters of the CPN-UML party of ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli. The conflict began when Gen Z protesters gathered at Simara Airport to oppose the arrival of CPN-UML leaders scheduled to address an anti-government rally.

Curfew Imposed in Nepal’s Bara District After Gen Z Clash with Former PM’s Party

Kathmandu, Nepal – November 19, 2025: Tensions flared in Nepal’s Bara district today, leading to the imposition of a curfew following clashes between Gen Z youths and supporters of the CPN-UML, the party of former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli.

The Bara district administration implemented the curfew, effective from 12:30 PM to 8:00 PM, within a 500-meter radius of Simara Airport. The unrest erupted as hundreds of Gen Z protesters gathered at the airport, voicing their opposition to the planned arrival of CPN-UML general secretary Shankar Pokharel and party youth leader Mahesh Basnet. The leaders were scheduled to address an anti-government rally in Simara.

According to police reports, the Gen Z protesters clashed with local CPN-UML cadres upon news of the leaders’ arrival, prompting authorities to institute the curfew to regain control.

The incident resulted in Buddha Airlines canceling all domestic flights from Kathmandu to Simara for the day, stranding the CPN-UML leaders who were forced to return to Kathmandu.

The CPN-UML has been organizing protests across Nepal, advocating for the reinstatement of the House of Representatives, which was dissolved following a Gen Z movement that ousted the Oli-led government on September 12th.

Furthermore, Gen Z activists are demanding accountability for the alleged mass killing of protesters on September 9th during demonstrations against corruption and a controversial proposed social media ban under the former Oli administration.
