KATHMANDU:- Prime Minister Sushila Karki today visited the National Trauma Centre to take stock of the youths who were injured during the recent Gen Z demonstrations and are receiving treatment there.
During the Prime Minister’s visit, Centre’s Chief Dr Badri Rijal told the Prime Minister that 36 were admitted to the facility, six in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with two in a critical condition.
He added that although some patients have been prescribed surgery, immediate procedures may not be possible due to the severity of their injuries.
A total of 51 people died while over thousands sustained injuries during the two-day nationwide anti-corruption demonstrations including in the Kathmandu Valley.
The demonstrations led to the constitution of the interim government under the leadership of Sushila Karki and the subsequent dissolution of the parliament with a mandate for holding the elections to the House of the Representatives on coming March 5, 2026 (RSS)
