  • Story Text: Views of Kathmandu, home to 1.72 million, as Nepal gears up for the upcoming March 5 elections which are seen as a crucial test for the country's young democracy. 
    Last year, Kathmandu witnessed massive Gen Z-led protests, sparked by a social media ban, which eventually led to the ousting of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's government. 
    The protests, marked by widespread unrest and violence, highlighted the growing demand for transparency, accountability, and reform in Nepal's political landscape.
