On Thursday, a significant number of Nepalis participated in a traditional festival in Kathmandu. This event occurred amidst recent reports of heightened political tension and protests across the country. The government initially implemented a social media ban as a measure to address these concerns. However, the restriction has inadvertently accelerated political discussions and movements online, leading to increased engagement with key political figures and perspectives. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing monitoring of public sentiment and potential future policy adjustments.
