The decision to block social media in Nepal has been lifted. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Due to the ban imposed on platforms like Facebook and YouTube, many young people took to the streets. Clashes with the police occurred in Kathmandu, resulting in 19 deaths and over 100 injuries.
The government stated that the ban was introduced to prevent the spread of false information and fraud. However, the youth considered this decision unfair and held protests with slogans against corruption.
Prime Minister Sharma Oli expressed regret over the incidents. The government announced that it would provide financial assistance to the families of the deceased and free medical services to the injured.
The police's use of force was widely criticized by the public. As a result of this situation, Interior Minister Ramesh Lexak resigned.
These events have once again highlighted the importance of social media in the country and the issue of citizens' right to free expression. New measures are expected to be taken to strengthen trust between the government and the citizens.
