All Bangladeshi nationals currently living or stuck in Nepal have strongly been advised not to move outside and stay at their respective places or hotels.

The Bangladesh Embassy in Kathmandu issued an urgent notice on Tuesday, September 9, following the current situation in Nepal.

All Bangladeshi nationals-inbound passengers to Nepal have also been advised not to fly to Nepal due to prevailing security situation.

In case of emergency, Bangladesh citizens have been requested to contact the Embassy (Cell: +977 9803872759: +977 9851128 381).

Meanwhile, Nepal has withdrawn its social media ban after violent clashes between demonstrators and police that left at least 19 people dead.

On Monday, thousands of youths stormed the parliament building in Kathmandu, demanding the government lift restrictions on 26 platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, and urging action against corruption.

The ban was revoked following an emergency cabinet meeting late Monday to "address the demands of Gen Z," Communications and Information Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung said, according to a BBC report.

Over 100 people were injured in the unrest, which also spread to towns beyond the capital.
