[Nepal] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 3, 2025, teachers led by the Nepal Teachers' Federation (NTF) conducted a peaceful protest march from Maitighar Mandala to Bijuli Bazar in Kathmandu, demanding new education legislation. The demonstration involved singing and dancing, indicating a low-severity, non-disruptive event.

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 educational focus of the protest, immediate supply chain disruptions appear unlikely.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation if teacher demands remain unaddressed, which could lead to broader strikes affecting urban operations in Kathmandu
• Track whether protests spread to other districts or involve additional sectors beyond education
