Nepal Assists Stranded Foreign Nationals Amid Kathmandu Curfew

Nepal Supports Stranded Tourists in Curfew

Nepal announces temporary measures for stranded foreign nationals, allowing visa regularisation and transfers amid Kathmandu Valley curfew, ensuring smooth departures despite ongoing unrest.

Nepal authorities have announced temporary measures to facilitate foreign nationals stranded in the country due to the ongoing curfew in the Kathmandu Valley.
According to Immigration officials, international travellers whose visas were valid through September 8 can now obtain exit permits and regularise their visas without paying additional fees, The Himalayan Times reported on Friday.
The facility will be available both at immigration offices and at departure points.
Authorities have also put in place arrangements for visa transfers in cases where visitors lost their passports during the disturbances.
Travellers carrying emergency passports or other travel documents issued by their respective embassies will have their visas transferred to the new documents under existing rules, ensuring a smooth departure from Nepal, the officials said.
A prohibitory order is in place in Kathmandu from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. A curfew order will come into effect from 7:00 pm Friday to 6:00 am Saturday and remain in place throughout the night.&nbsp;

Nepal Police Resume Operations After Violent Protests in Kathmandu

Nepal Police Return Amidst Valley Protests

Nepal's police stations in Kathmandu Valley are reopening as personnel return amid community efforts, following violent protests that left 34 dead and prompted PM Oli's resignation.

Nepal's police force is gradually resuming operations in the Kathmandu Valley, with police stations and posts that were vandalised or set ablaze during violent anti-government protests earlier this week slowly coming back into operation, officials said on Friday.
Stations, beats and units damaged in the student-led unrest are gradually reopening, and Nepal Police and Armed Police Force personnel have reappeared on streets and around posts across the Valley, the Kathmandu Valley Police Office said.
Dozens of police stations across the Valley were vandalised and damaged, though the exact number is yet to be confirmed.
&ldquo;Exact data on such incidents is not yet available," SSP Shekhar Khanal, spokesperson of the Kathmandu Valley Police Office at Ranipokhari, was quoted as saying by MyRepublica news portal.
Khanal said police personnel are returning to their posts and resuming work with whatever facilities are available.
Locals are also helping rebuild the vandalised police stations in several areas of the Valley, he said, adding that community leaders have also urged the public to assist in repair and cleanup efforts.
Many police personnel had sought shelter in army barracks after coming under attack from protesters. The Nepali Army later assumed responsibility for national security to restore order.
Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli quit on Tuesday shortly after hundreds of agitators entered his office demanding his resignation for the death of at least 19 people in police action during Monday's protests over corruption and a social media ban. The ban on social media was lifted Monday night.
The violence continued even after Oli's resignation, with protesters setting fire to the Parliament, the President's Office, the PM's residence, government buildings, political parties' offices and homes of senior leaders.
According to the Ministry of Health, the number of people killed so far during the protests held on Monday and Tuesday has risen to 34.

The Delhi-Kathmandu Maitri Bus Sewa has been suspended after student-led protests in Nepal escalated into nationwide unrest, forcing the DTC bus to remain stranded in Kathmandu.

Delhi-Kathmandu Bus Service Halts Amid Unrest in Nepal

Delhi to Kathmandu Bus Stuck Due to Nepal Unrest

The Delhi-Kathmandu Maitri Bus Sewa has been suspended after student-led protests in Nepal escalated into nationwide unrest, forcing the DTC bus to remain stranded in Kathmandu.

The bus service operated by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) that runs between Delhi and Kathmandu has been stuck in Nepal due to the ongoing turmoil in the neighbouring country, officials said.
"The bus is stuck in Nepal. The Delhi government is coordinating with the embassies of Nepal and India in the matter," an official said on Thursday.
The student-led 'Gen Z' protests in Nepal that began against a government ban on social media expanded into a larger campaign reflecting growing public criticism of the K P Sharma Oli dispensation and the country's political elite over alleged corruption and apathy towards the people.
Prime Minister Oli resigned in the face of the protests, even as the ban on social media was lifted late on Monday night.
Another official confirmed that the bus service was suspended on Wednesday in the wake of these events.
This service, known as the Delhi-Kathmandu Maitri Bus Sewa, symbolises the strong ties between India and Nepal and remains a popular choice for travellers.
The bus covers a distance of 1,167 kilometres, with a fare of Rs 2,800. It operates six days a week, with DTC buses running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and Nepal's Manjushree Yatayat buses running on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
DTC deploys Volvo buses for the route, while Manjushree Yatayat uses Marco Polo buses.
According to the DTC website, the journey includes designated halts at Firozabad, Faizabad, Mugling and Sonauli (the India-Nepal border) for customs checks. Passengers are not allowed to disembark or board at other locations along the route.
Indian and Nepalese citizens are required to carry valid government-issued photo identification, such as a passport or voter ID card, while nationals of other countries need to present a valid passport and visa.
The service was launched on November 25, 2014, from the Dr Ambedkar Stadium Bus Terminal in Delhi, featuring air-conditioned buses with a 2x2 seating arrangement.
Operations were halted on March 23, 2020, due to the first wave of the pandemic, but resumed in December 2021.
Currently, only diesel-powered buses operate on this route as no CNG or electric buses are available yet.

Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu shut down indefinitely after violent protests in Nepal. Hundreds of foreign nationals stranded as flights suspended.

Kathmandu Airport Shutdown Amid Protests Leaves Travelers Stranded

Kathmandu Airport Closure Amid Protests

Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu shut down indefinitely after violent protests in Nepal. Hundreds of foreign nationals stranded as flights suspended.

The Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu was closed on Wednesday until further notice following the massive violent protests across Nepal, leaving hundreds of foreign nationals stranded.
The flight services at the airport were partially suspended in view of the protests on Tuesday after agitators tried to enter its premises.
In a public notice, the airport officials said the closure is due to the ongoing critical situation and urged passengers and stakeholders to await further updates.
Earlier, the TIA had announced a temporary closure until 6 pm Wednesday, but operations have now been halted without a reopening timeline, news portal Khabarhub said.
The Nepal Army on Wednesday imposed nationwide restrictive orders followed by a curfew to quell possible violence under the guise of protest, a day after deadly anti-government demonstrations forced Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli&rsquo;s resignation.
The airport shutdown has affected both domestic and international flights, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded. Airlines have advised travellers to stay in contact with their respective carriers for updates.
Authorities said the airport will resume operations only after security agencies give clearance, Khabarhub said.
&ldquo;We had closed the airport due to security reasons as we saw smoke in some areas surrounding the airport as well as parts of the runway,&rdquo; said Rinji Sherpa, spokesperson of the airport.
The Nepal Army, in a statement, has asked the &ldquo;foreign nationals, who are stranded due to the current difficult situation to contact the nearest security post or security people for their rescue or any other help.&rdquo; It has also requested hotels, tourism entrepreneurs and related agencies concerned to provide necessary help to the needy foreign nationals.
The Hotel Association Nepal (HAN) on Wednesday urged all stakeholders to help create a tourist friendly environment for the movement of tourists.
&ldquo;As the country is passing through a difficult situation and the airport remains closed, it is necessary to manage the stranded tourists,&rdquo; HAN said in a statement.
HAN said that it has been coordinating with Nepal Tourism Board and Nepal Army for necessary management and facilitation of tourists. It also issued a hotline contact number 9851031495 for accommodation facilities to the stranded tourists.
On Tuesday night, the Nepal Army took control of the airport after the agitators tried to enter its premises.
Air India, which operates six flights a day between New Delhi and Kathmandu, on Tuesday cancelled four flights. IndiGo and Nepal Airlines also cancelled their flights from Delhi to Kathmandu.&nbsp;

Nepal's airlines suspend helicopter flights to the Everest region due to local protests over environmental concerns and loss of income from trekkers. The suspension follows growing tensions between local officials, aviation authorities & businesses.

Nepal suspends helicopters in Everest region after protests

Nepal's airlines suspend helicopter flights to the Everest region due to local protests over environmental concerns and loss of income from trekkers. The suspension follows growing tensions between local officials, aviation authorities, and businesses.

Nepal's airlines have halted helicopter flights to the Everest region after locals angry at the environmental impact and loss of income from trekkers threatened landing sites, aviation officials said Monday.
Helicopters are a key means of transport and crucial for emergency rescue in many of Nepal's remote regions, often inaccessible by road.
But they have also been increasingly used to airlift mountaineering teams and tourists over the challenging terrains in the Sagarmatha National Park, home to Mount Everest.
For those who can afford the $1,000 price tag, helicopters reduce the two-week long trek to Everest base camp to just a day -- removing a key source of employment for Nepalis supporting those making the long hike in.
The Airlines Operators Association of Nepal grounded all helicopter flights to the region on Sunday citing security challenges.
It said local youths had erected barriers of flags at landing sites, and threatened action against pilots who land.
"We have suspended all our helicopter flights to the Everest region until the government gives assurance of security for helicopter pilots and a separate spot for emergency landing," Pratap Jung Pandey, first-vice president of the association, told AFP.
The suspension comes after escalating arguments between the aviation authorities, companies and local officials.
Over 50,000 tourists visit the Everest region every year, mostly entering either in a plane or a helicopter.
According to the association, the Everest region sees about 15 helicopter flights per day in the winter, a number that can surge to 60 daily during the peak tourist season.
Sagarmatha National Park in December issued a notice banning commercial sight-seeing helicopter flights from January, sparking a conflict with aviation officials.
"Geologically, this a very sensitive area and the rampant helicopter flights are disturbing the environment," the park's conservation officer Sushma Rana told AFP in December, after the ban was announced.
"The local businesses are also losing out because the trekkers are whisked away by flights."
Local officials said the suspension was announced while negotiations had been ongoing.
"We are going to hold talks to resolve this issue," said Laxman Adhikari, a local ward official.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who rushed to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu after the crash, set up a panel to investigate the accident.
&rdquo;The incident was tragic. The full force of the Nepali army, police has been deployed for rescue," he said.
