[Nepal] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. A low-severity protest occurred in Kathmandu on April 4, 2025, as leaders and members of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) demonstrated demanding the release of leaders arrested after a March 28 pro-monarchy rally and called for fair investigation into that incident.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and low severity classification, immediate supply chain disruption appears minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of protests or broader political unrest that could affect Kathmandu's transportation networks
• Track whether demonstrations spread beyond the capital or gain momentum among other political groups
