Kathmandu-Kathmandu Metropolitan City, which usually fines political parties millions of rupees for littering streets after public events, has remained silent after widespread destruction during the Gen-Z protests.
Under the full support of Mayor Balendra Sah (Balen) and the grand design of the movement, streets, government buildings, and private structures in Kathmandu suffered extensive damage. Unlike previous events, the city did not act against the unprecedented destruction.
On 23–24 Bhadra, nationwide unrest led to 73 deaths and billions of rupees in property damage. Key government buildings, including Singha Durbar, Parliament, the Supreme Court, Sheetal Niwas, and Baluwatar, were damaged.

Political party offices, leaders’ residences, and commercial centers were also affected. Streets were filled with debris and smoke from burned tires, vehicles, and both public and private property.
This silence is reportedly linked to Mayor Balendra Sah, who publicly expressed full support on Facebook the day before the protests. The city also helped with water distribution and portable toilets during the protests.
The metropolitan authority has now begun clearing the litter from Gen-Z’s activities. According to City Police Chief Rajunath Pandey, 374 trips of collected garbage have been recorded so far. He stated, “The trash on the streets came from burned vehicles, and we are helping to dump it.”
Spokesperson Naveen Manandhar said, “The Gen-Z movement has brought change to the country. The city will no longer operate in the old style. Our focus is solely on cleaning the garbage in metropolitan areas.”
