Condolences & Tribute

Our deepest condolences to all the young and innocent lives lost during the Anti-Corruption Gen Z Movement in Nepal. 💔 And, pray for the speedy recovery of the injued ones. Our thoughts are with the families, your kids are a true patriot.

Thank you for your bravery. You stood as the frontline fighters, carrying the voice of a generation and the hope of a nation. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten. 🙏

You fought not just for today, but for all the generations to come. May your souls rest in eternal peace, and may your courage continue to inspire us towards justice, truth, and a corruption-free Nepal. 🇳🇵
