When identity hardens into conflict

|
By Vivek Baranwal
| The Farsight Nepal
On the night of March 4, Nepalis went to bed carrying a familiar burden: uncertainty. The promise of elections the next morning, framed as a reset after months of youth-led anti-corruption protests and a near-collapse of governance, offered a fragile hope. But in parts of the southern plains, that hope was already under quiet strain. In Birgunj, the detention of teenagers, some as young as 16, initially appeared as a routine security intervention. It was anything but.

On Monday morning, the District Administration Office in Birgunj imposed an indefinite curfew across major parts of the metropolis, calling it a “preventive and precautionary measure” after tensions flared overnight in Ward 11, Shreepur. According to Chief District Officer Bholanath Dahal, the unrest began Sunday evening with what he described as a dispute over parking. Stones were pelted. Local media reported that tyres were set ablaze.

It reveals an enduring grip on party machinery at a time when Nepal’s multiparty democracy is shrouded in uncertainty. The vote came barely three months after UML offices nationwide, including the central secretariat, were vandalised during youth-led anti-corruption protests in September. Oli’s own home was burnt.
