Jeewan Shrestha had an appointment with a doctor at Bir Hospital on January 22 at 3 PM. He was getting ready when he got a call from a friend asking him to take a different route as traffic during the day, especially around that area, was chaotic.

Reason for the chaos? A protest or ‘show of power’ by Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction of the Nepal Communist Party to condemn the dissolution of the House of Representatives by PM KP Sharma Oli.
