Simara on edge as Gen Z youths refuse to back down

Four protesters and six police personnel were injured during clashes Thursday. Youths say they won’t sit for talks until accused UML cadres are detained.

Simara, an emerging city in Bara district of Madhesh Province, has been struggling to return to normalcy following two days of violent clashes. The district administration clamped a curfew in Simara and its vicinity on Thursday, for the second consecutive day, fearing any untoward incidents.
