12,000 Vehicles Destroyed: The Environmental Cost of Nepal’s Gen-Z Movement
More than 12,000 vehicles were burned nationwide during the Gen-Z movement, which claimed 76 lives, with 6,800 of those vehicles burned in Bagmati Province alone.

Furthermore, the remains of these vehicles have not been managed in a timely manner, creating a risk that chemicals and ash will cause long-term severe impacts on health and the environment.
