KATHMANDU, SEPTEMBER 9

Protesters set fire to the private residence of Minister for Communication, Information and Technology Prithvi Subba Gurung in Sunakothi, Lalitpur on Tuesday morning, as the nationwide Gen Z–led protests against corruption continues for a second day.

According to police, demonstrators initially pelted stones at the minister's house before the situation escalated into arson.

There was some vandalism and a small fire incident, though the situation has now been brought under control, police said.

Authorities confirmed that no casualties were reported at the minister's residence, but the attack underscores the growing unrest.
