Nepal’s Kantipur TV headquarters set on fire

Protesters in Kathmandu set fire to a building that houses Nepal’s largest media group, Kantipur TV on Tuesday, as Gen Z-led anti-corruption demonstrations witnessed large-scale destruction on the second day.

Kantipur Media Group is Nepal’s leading media conglomerate, housing prominent outlets such as Kantipur Television, Radio Kantipur, and The Kathmandu Post. Headquartered in Kathmandu, specifically at Central Business Park, the organisation has been a trusted source of news and information for Nepali households since 1993.
