KATHMANDU, SEPTEMBER 9

Protesters participating in the ongoing Gen Z-led demonstrations have set fire to the President's Office at Sheetal Niwas on Tuesday.

The demonstrators, rallying against corruption, government restrictions, and Monday's deadly crackdown that claimed 19 lives, have repeatedly targeted key institutions and leaders' residences.

Reports indicate that fires and vandalism have occurred at Singha Durbar, the Federal Parliament, the Supreme Court, the Special Court, district courts, office of the Attorney General, land revenue offices, and the homes and offices of top political leaders.
