Curfew Reimposed in Nepal’s Bara District After Renewed Clashes Between Gen Z and Oli Supporters

Kathmandu, Nepal – November 20, 2025 – Fresh tensions have erupted in Nepal’s Bara district, bordering India, leading to the reimposition of a curfew following renewed clashes between Gen Z youths and members of the CPN-UML, the party of ousted Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli. Ten people have been reported injured in the unrest.

The violence flared in Simara Chowk after Gen Z protestors, angered by what they perceive as police inaction in arresting UML members involved in earlier altercations, returned to the streets. Protesters allege that police have failed to act against individuals named in their complaint stemming from clashes on Wednesday, November 19th.

Authorities initially imposed a curfew from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. local time in an attempt to quell the unrest, but demonstrators defied the order. Reports indicate that protesters pelted security forces with stones, injuring six police personnel, while four Gen Z protesters were also injured. The police responded with tear gas and aerial fire.

In a separate incident, protesters set fire to a police post in Simara Bazaar and torched items removed from a UML office. The unrest was initially sparked by the planned arrival of CPN-UML general secretary Shankar Pokharel and youth leader Mahesh Basnet to address an anti-government rally. Gen Z members gathered at the airport to oppose their arrival, leading to clashes with local CPN-UML members.

Police have arrested two UML members, Dhan Bahadur Shrestha and Kaimoddin Ansari, on charges of assaulting Gen Z youths during Wednesday’s clashes. These arrests were made after a formal complaint was filed.

The CPN-UML has been staging protests across Nepal demanding the reinstatement of the House of Representatives, which was dissolved on September 12th following a Gen Z-led movement that ultimately led to Oli’s resignation on September 9th. Gen Z activists are also seeking action related to alleged mass killings of protesters during demonstrations against corruption and a proposed social media ban under the Oli administration.
