Days after violent protests broke out in Nepal, the country is now set to hold the general elections. Nepal's newly appointed Prime Minister (PM) Sushila Karki said that her interim government is committed to holding the general elections on the scheduled time on Monday, reported news agency PTI. 

Seventy-three-year-old Karki, who is a former judge, became the PM on September 12, ending days of political uncertainty following the ouster of her precedent KP Sharma Oli after violent protests by a youth-led Gen Z group against his government over corruption and a ban on social media.
