Nepal estimates millions in damages from September protests
Kathmandu (AFP) – Nepal on Thursday estimated that the country suffered losses of about $586 million in September's deadly anti-corruption protests that ousted the government.
The youth-led demonstrations, initially triggered by anger over a brief government ban on social media, were fuelled by deeper frustration over economic hardship and corruption.
After a police crackdown killed young protestors, the riots spread and on the second day more than 2,500 structures were torched, looted or damaged.
The committee formed to assess the damage caused during the protest submitted its report to Prime Minister Sushila Karki on Thursday, the prime minister's secretariat said in a statement.
