Scrap dealers march in the roads of Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 26, 2025, protesting against Mayor Balendra (Balen) Shah, accusing him of unleashing a bulldozer terror against their businesses. The scrap workers and traders picket the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) office, chanting slogans and carrying placards with sharp messages against the mayor. They demand an immediate halt to what they describe as harassment, assaults, and forced demolitions carried out by the city police under Shah's leadership. The demonstrators put forward a five-point demand, which includes guaranteeing the constitutional right to pursue their trade and occupation, stopping physical assaults, intimidation, and demolition of scrap businesses by KMC authorities, taking action against city police involved in excesses, ensuring the safety of scrap workers, collectors, and traders, and compensating for damages caused to the scrap industry over the past two years. Protesters warn that unless their demands are addressed, they will escalate their demonstrations further and hold the mayor directly responsible for the unrest.

Nepal's living goddess Kumari of Patan watches the resting point as it approaches the final tour of the city, wrapping up the months-long chariot procession in Lalitpur, Nepal, on May 29, 2025. Nepal's Red God, Rato Macchindranath, completes the tour of the ancient city of Lalitpur, covering a span of three months. The 32-foot tall chariot is pulled up to Jawalakhel, the last spot where the chariot is dismantled after the procession of Bhoto Jatra. Running over the span of weeks depending on astrology, the Rato Macchindranath Chariot festival starts from late April to early May. According to the lunar calendar, the longest chariot festival of Nepal begins on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of Bachhala, the seventh month in the lunar Nepal Sambat calendar, but this year it does not fall as per the set-out rule. The chariot procession of Rato Macchindranath, also called ''Bunga Dugh'' in Newari, meaning the God of Rain and Harvest, is the longest Jatra in Nepal, running for months depending widely on astronomy.
