Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. More than 20 people have died in the unrest since Monday.

The Hilton Hotel was torched in an arson attack amid anti-corruption fury, and a minister was chased into a river.

After toppling KP Sharma Oli’s government, Nepal’s ‘Gen Z’ groups are divided about the country’s new interim leader. Even as former Chief Justice Sushila Karki has emerged as a frontrunner, consensus has not been reached.

A day after suspension following the political upheaval and violent protests, Kathmandu airport has been reopened for operations. Prohibitory orders are in place till tomorrow morning.

Visuals shared on social media showed the glassy frame of the Hilton Kathmandu engulfed in towering flames and thick plumes of black smoke as the multi-million dollar property became the latest casualty of the Nepal Gen-Z protest.

As the situation returns to normalcy, the protesting Gen Z group held discussions to finalise the name of the person to lead an interim government.

Following Oli's resignation amidst violent Gen Z protests, Kathmandu Mayor Shah urged restraint. He acknowledged their success but cautioned against property damage, emphasising constructive engagement.

One analyst told Newsweek the protests are part of a "generational reckoning against a culture of political impunity."
