Curfew orders were reimposed in Nepal’s southern Bara district on 20 November to prevent escalating confrontations between student-led Gen Z groups and members of the ousted Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli’s Communist Party of Nepal (CPN-UML). Tensions flared in Simara between the groups following the nationwide unrest in September, forcing security agencies to fire tear gas and temporarily halt operations at the Simara airport on 19 November. This recurrence of protests highlights continued political volatility and domestic security risk for operations.
