Summary of "Nepal Protests: 30 Dead, Parliament, Supreme Court Left In Complete Ruins | WION"
The video reports on three days of intense protests in Nepal marked by widespread violence and destruction. At least 30 people have died amid the unrest. Protesters, primarily rallying against corruption, have targeted key government institutions, setting fire to and severely damaging the Parliament building, the Supreme Court, and various administrative offices. The Parliament building is described as completely charred with collapsed roofs and broken windows, while the Supreme Court has lost over 50,000 case files in the fire, though efforts are underway to salvage remaining documents.
The protests have escalated to such a degree that the Nepalese army has been deployed across Kathmandu to restore order. Several police stations and the homes of prominent political figures, including the Prime Minister and President, have also been attacked and burned. Protesters insist they will continue their demonstrations until their demands for a transparent and accountable government are met, specifically seeking new regulations to end corruption.
The coverage includes on-the-ground visuals of the destruction, with streets littered with debris and ash, and testimonies about the scale of the damage and the protesters’ resolve.
