As the Gen Z protests in Nepal intensify, sources say Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli is planning to flee the country, citing health reasons.

At least 19 people have died and more than 400 people have been injured so far in protests following a social media ban in the country on 26 applications last week. The ban has since been lifted.

A Himalaya Airlines flight has been kept on standby for PM Oli's possible departure, a Prabhat Khabar report said.
