[Nepal] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Student protesters from ANNFSU padlocked administrative offices at Janaprakashan Campus in Kathmandu on April 2, 2025, over disputed election results for student body positions. The protest was classified as peaceful with low severity, representing routine campus political activity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Isolated campus protests in Kathmandu are unlikely to disrupt major supply chains unless they spread to critical infrastructure areas or transportation networks.

Watch points

• Monitor for potential expansion of student protests to other campuses or broader political movements in Nepal
• Watch for any escalation that could affect road transport through Kathmandu, though current scope remains limited to a single campus
