Shocking visuals have surfaced showing a multistorey hotel engulfed in flames and reduced to a charred shell after being set on fire during Tuesday’s deadly Gen Z protests .
The five-star Hilton Hotel in Kathmandu appeared blackened and charred, with burnt windows, smoke stains, and structural damage.
Mob had set fire to government property, including Parliament, Supreme Court and the private residence of several leaders like ex-PM KP Sharma Oli.
“The situation here is very bad. Fires are being set on roads everywhere. They are not even sparing tourists here. They don't care if someone is a tourist or if someone has come here for work. They are setting fires everywhere without thinking, and the situation has become very, very bad here. We don't know how long we will stay in another hotel. But I just request the Indian embassy that please, this video, this message, should be delivered to them. With folded hands, I request all of you, please help us. There are many people with me here, and we are all stranded here,” Upastha Gill said in the video.

Meanwhile, the Nepal army enforced nationwide restrictive orders and a curfew. From Wednesday morning to 5pm, restrictions are in place, followed by a curfew until 6am Thursday.
With troops deployed across Kathmandu and other cities, the army said the measures aim to prevent looting, arson, and vandalism, warning that any such acts during this period will be treated as criminal offenses.
