"Emergency Nepal"

11 October 2025

Pro-monarchists and royalists demonstrate in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 11, 2025, presenting their demands for the reinstatement of the monarchy in the nation following the Gen-Z revolution that brings regime change in the Himalayan nation. Nepal abolishes its centuries-old constitutional monarchy in 2006 after then-King Gyanendra seizes power and imposes an emergency, placing all leaders under house arrest. The movement, also referred to as ''People's Movement II,'' witnesses bloodshed with dozens killed in a government crackdown against protestors. After weeks of violent protests and increasing international pressure, Gyanendra gives up and reinstates the dissolved parliament, marking the dawn of a new democracy highlighted as Loktantra (People's Rule). The Himalayan nation of Nepal has a population of 30.55 million, consisting of 81.19% Hindus, according to the 2022 census.

People wade through the flooded section of the BP Highway following last weekend's heavy downpour, in Nepal, on October 9, 2025. Various sections of the BP Highway, built with Japanese assistance, are swept by the floods of 2024. Within weeks since the disaster, the highway is brought back into operation by setting up diversions. The local authorities, in coordination with the central government, are again setting up diversions, but people are forced to cling to the rocks to get across the road section and catch a bus to continue their journey. One week since the heavy rain batters the Himalayan nation, at least nine major highways connecting various parts of the country remain completely obstructed, according to the latest update from Nepal Police. As a result, many who leave Kathmandu Valley for their village homes for the Dashain festival face difficulties in returning to their workplace and temporary residence.
