The police attacked a peaceful protest by tourism entrepreneurs in Kathmandu on orders from the tourism minister, injuring over two dozen people and arresting fifteen others. The government's attack on the peaceful protest was condemned as it showed the government's inability to resolve problems and its tyrannical face by attacking people exercising their constitutional rights. Various organizations were requested to investigate the attack and irregularities at the Nepal Tourism Board, while the protest leaders announced upcoming peaceful protest activities including celebrations, meetings with lawmakers, and temporary closures of tourism services across the country.
