Nepal PM calls for calm after latest clashes

Katmandu: Nepal’s prime minister has appealed for calm after clashes erupted between young activists and loyalists of the former ruling party that was overthrown in a deadly uprising in September. Police said on Thursday calm had returned to Simara, a town in Nepal’s southern Bara district some 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Katmandu, a day after clashes between rival protesters. At least 76 people were killed during demonstrations on September 8 and 9 that were triggered by anger over a brief government ban on social media and led by protesters under the loose “Gen Z” umbrella title.
