Recent protests in Nepal have escalated into chaos, resulting in significant destruction, including the burning of the Hilton hotel in Kathmandu and attacks on government buildings. The unrest, driven by youth frustrations over rampant corruption, has led to the army taking control of security. Reports indicate that protesters even chased the finance minister into a river. In response to the turmoil, Tribhuvan International Airport temporarily closed, with the Delhi-Kathmandu Maitri Bus Sewa being suspended, highlighting the strong ties between India and Nepal.
