The Kathmandu Post, on Tuesday, reported that Chief of Army Staff Ashokraj Sigdel is set to address the citizens of the country, amid the ongoing social upheaval in Nepal.
Preparations for his speech are underway, with the nation anxiously awaiting clarity on the path forward.
The announcement comes at a critical juncture, just hours after Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli and President Ram Chandra Paudel tendered their resignations following days of violent “Gen Z protests.”
The unrest, sparked by a controversial social media ban and fueled by anger over corruption, has left at least 19 people dead and hundreds injured across the country.
With both the executive and the presidency vacated, many citizens are demanding accountability and assurances about Nepal’s stability.
Sigdel’s address is expected to provide direction on how the government and security forces plan to manage the crisis and restore order, even as calls for systemic reforms intensify.
