Gen-Z is actively involved in aiding Nepal during the floods and heavy rainfall. The Ministry of Home Affairs has deployed Gen-Z volunteers to coordinate the response to the ongoing floods and landslides across the country. These Gen-Z leaders have been working to coordinate with various districts since Friday evening.

When the weather department issued a warning about heavy rainfall, floods, and landslides for three days, officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs summoned Gen-Z leaders, including Sudan Gurung, Yugen Rajbhandari, and Bhavana Raut, to the Singhadurbar. Home Minister, Om Prakash Aryal, personally engaged in discussions with them. An official from the Ministry of Home Affairs stated that the government sought assistance from all available resources to leave no stone unturned in addressing the situation.

The participation of Gen-Z, combined with information shared through social media, has facilitated swift action. A post by young Sagar Dhakal on social media regarding the incident in Panchthar proved crucial. According to the Home Department, had this information not been shared, the authorities would have received the news of the incident at an unknown location much later.

Following Dhakal’s post, officials from the Panchthar District Administration Office took immediate action. Arun Pokharel, the Chief District Officer of Panchthar, mentioned that they were coordinating with the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the timely information aided in rescuing people. Two individuals were rescued with the assistance of a military helicopter. The ministry has been leveraging the help of Gen-Z leaders to gather and disseminate information, and they have been deployed to assist.

A Ministry of Home Affairs official stated that the ministry was receiving numerous calls from various districts, and there was a great deal of coordination required. Therefore, they worked to deploy personnel to the most vulnerable areas on Saturday night. Gen-Z leader Sudan Gurung also participated in a meeting of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority on Saturday afternoon.

He also uploaded a video on the social media platform Facebook, providing directives to NEA CEO Dinesh Bhatta. He emphasized the prioritization of ambulances, stating that it should be confirmed whether ambulances are available in the affected areas, and if so, they should be deployed to rescue people.

According to Nepali media reports, the majority of the casualties due to landslides have occurred in Ilam. According to Central Police Spokesperson Binod Ghimire, 37 people died in Ilam over two days, and five were injured. Rainfall data from Sunday (in 24 hours): Mai Pokhari Station, Ilam: 269.4 mm, Ilam Tea Garden Station: 272.6 mm, Kaniyam: 275 mm. The weather department anticipates a reduction in rainfall across the country from Monday.

She took office at the newly constructed Home Ministry building in the Singh Durbar Secretariat in Kathmandu. Former Chief Justice of Nepal, Karki, was appointed acting Prime Minister by President Ramchandra Paudel on the recommendation of the Gen-Z group, which had ousted the K.P. Sharma Oli government through a two-day protest that concluded on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, sources in the President’s office have indicated that President Paudel, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, has appointed Kulman Ghising, Rameshwar Khanal, and Om Prakash Aryal as ministers. According to sources, Ghising will receive the Ministry of Energy, Urban Development, and Road and Transport; Khanal will receive Finance, and Aryal will receive the Home Ministry. The swearing-in of these three ministers will take place at the President’s office this afternoon.

Following the arson at the Prime Minister’s office during the violent protests last Tuesday, the government has moved the Prime Minister’s office to the newly constructed Home Ministry building in the Singh Durbar complex. Addressing a meeting of secretaries and senior government officials immediately after taking office, Prime Minister Karki stated that those involved in the violence and destruction of public and private property would be brought to justice.

She said that the arson and vandalism on the protests of September 9 were pre-planned and that the Gen-Z protesters were not involved in such activities. Karki stated that the type of arson and vandalism was a criminal act, which was carried out in a planned manner, and those responsible should be punished.

She also instructed Chief Secretary Ek Narayan Aryal to arrange for the repair of police stations destroyed across the country. The movement, which began last Monday on social media against government restrictions, soon turned into a major campaign, reflecting public anger towards corruption and the alleged indifference of the political class.

K.P. Sharma Oli resigned after hundreds of protestors entered his office and demanded his resignation for the deaths of at least 19 people in police action during the demonstrations. Meanwhile, Chief Secretary Aryal reported that the number of deaths during the protests had risen to 72, including three police officers. He added that these included 59 protestors and 10 prisoners.
