Nepals Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki Takes Charge Following Protests
Nepal's interim Prime Minister, Sushila Karki, has assumed office following weeks of intense youth-led protests. Her appointment marks a significant step towards restoring stability after widespread unrest. Karki's immediate priorities include restoring order and ensuring democratic accountability.
She has declared victims of the September 8th violence as martyrs, pledging 1 million rupees in compensation to families of the deceased and support for the injured. Her government's tenure is limited to six months, after which power will be transferred to an elected administration.
Schools have reopened, and dialogue with protest leaders is underway, signifying a gradual return to normalcy. Despite the recent upheaval, the Supreme Court, which narrowly avoided the destruction of crucial documents during the protests, remains operational.
