VIDEO: Police use water cannons and tear gas to break up Nepal pandemic protest

Youth in Kathmandu staged a peaceful demonstration outside the prime minister’s residence Tuesday and Wednesday against the government’s negligence in handling the COVID-19 pandemic.

The peaceful protest later turned chaotic as the police charged batons and fired water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowd.

The government had earlier claimed to have spent almost 10 billion Nepalese rupees, approximately $82.4 billion, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The protestors say the Nepalese government has not done enough to manage the COVID-19 crisis and simply imposing a nationwide lockdown is not the solution.
