Wife of Former Nepalese PM Injured in Gen-Z Protests Receives Medical Care in India

Rabi Laxmi Chitrakar, the wife of former Nepalese Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal, has been transported to India for advanced medical care following injuries sustained during recent Gen-Z demonstrations. The protests, which occurred on September 9th, led to severe damage, including a fire at Khanal’s residence in Kathmandu’s Dallu area. Chitrakar suffered significant burns in the incident, impacting approximately 15% of her body. Prior treatment was provided at a hospital in Kirtipur; however, due to the severity of her condition, a medical team recommended further treatment in New Delhi. Khanal, a prominent figure in Nepal’s political landscape and a senior leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (UML), served as Prime Minister from February to August 2011. The current status of Rabi Laxmi Chitrakar remains critical.
