Bhadra 30, 2082, Kathmandu. Nepal’s Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki has announced four major action plans to address the country’s current crisis and move forward.
According to her, the government will hold elections within six months, investigate those involved in violence and destruction, enforce anti-corruption and good governance measures in line with the demands of the Gen-Z movement, and take steps to restore confidence in the private sector.
PM Karki emphasized that the country must now work in accordance with the aspirations of the younger generation. “We must commit ourselves to fighting corruption, ensuring good governance, and achieving economic equality,” she stated.
Expressing sorrow over the extensive loss of life and property during the recent protests, she noted that police posts, the Supreme Court, high and district courts, and even the nation’s administrative hub—Singha Durbar—had been set ablaze. “Buildings can be rebuilt, but the real tragedy is that valuable records, files, and evidence dating back decades have been completely destroyed,” she said with concern.
Karki suggested the attacks appeared to be organized and deliberate. “If these acts were carried out by Nepalis themselves, it is shameful to even call them Nepalis,” she remarked.
Highlighting the assault on Singha Durbar and other vital institutions, she stressed that it was not merely an attack on property but a direct criminal challenge to the nation itself. She urged all citizens to unite in facing this challenge and contribute to rebuilding Nepal.
Alongside her broader plan, the Prime Minister also announced relief measures for victims of the movement. Families of those killed will receive 10 lakh rupees each, the injured will be provided free medical treatment, expenses for relatives staying in Kathmandu during treatment will be covered by the state, and the government will arrange to transport the bodies of the deceased to their home districts.
