Ground report: Nepal bus operators struggle as border closure leaves buses empty

This India Today report from Nepal highlights how the border closure due to Gen Z protests has impacted local bus operators. For three to four days, the border has been shut, leading to a complete lack of passengers and causing significant financial strain for bus owners and drivers. Buses that were once so crowded that there was no room to stand are now running empty. The situation affects not only the transport providers but also labourers and residents who rely on cross-border travel for work and essential supplies.
