Seeing the situation, the administration imposed curfew in the area. Bara district administration said that there will be curfew within 500 meters of Simara Airport from 12:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

Protest and clash at the airport
The clash took place when the Buddha Air plane was about to take off from Kathmandu for Simara carrying CPN-UML leader general secretary Shankar Pokharel and youth leader Mahesh Basnet. Both the leaders had to address an anti-government rally. As soon as the news of Simara’s arrival spread, a large number of Gen-Z protesters gathered at the airport to protest, where they clashed with CPN-UML supporters.

Flights canceled, leaders returned
Following the clash, Buddha Airlines canceled all domestic flights from Kathmandu-Simara. This also included the flight that was to carry both the CPN-UML leaders.

What is UML?

This party is based on leftist ideology and has been playing an important role in Nepal’s politics for a long time. Former Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli is the top leader of this party. UML describes itself as an advocate of nationalism, stability and development, but in recent years there has been growing dissatisfaction among the youth, especially Gen-Z, regarding its policies and leadership, which has often led to protests.

Then came the era of 1977. The then Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was accused of corruption and misuse of power. Army chief Zia -ul -Haq attacked amidst the rigging dispute in the elections.
