The private sector has been shocked to see the uncomfortable situation created by the government's suppression of social media and the anti-corruption movement of Zen-G.

The private sector has strongly condemned such a move by the government saying that Monday's tragic incident has deeply hurt the hearts of all Nepalis. The private sector is clear that the government should not repress and use force against Jen-Ji, who has taken to the streets for her voice and rights, and that this has badly affected not only the society but also the economy. 

Nepal Federation of Commerce and Industry President Chandra Prasad Dhakal said that when the external indicators of the economy are becoming strong and the internal indicators are slowly showing signs of improvement, a tragic incident happened in the country on Monday. I am sorry for this incident. Instead of increasing the pace of improvement in the economy, which has been lax for a long time, this has increased the risk of worsening the investment environment," he said. "To prevent this situation from happening tomorrow, I request the government to address the legitimate demands of the Gen-G generation and resolve all problems through dialogue." He also urged the Gen-G generation to be restrained in their demands and move forward peacefully.

Bhavani Rana, the former president of the Federation of Nepalese Industries and Commerce, said that Monday's tragic incident has caused deep pain in the hearts of all Nepalis. It is very painful to hear the news that the young brothers and sisters of Gen-G generation who are fighting for their rights have lost their lives. The demand of the Gen-G generation is not only for them but for the bright future of the entire Nepal,' she said, 'It is necessary for all of us to respect the timely and fair demand of the new generation.' 

Birendra Pandey, president of Nepal Industry Confederation, said that the business cycle has been broken due to the situation created by the movement. The government should create a peaceful environment by co-ordinating with gen-ji. The government seemed to have used more force than was necessary. Instead of using force, the government should have started to create a peaceful environment through consensus and understanding," he said. Their cases should also be heard. If the right issue has been raised, it should be addressed. The government must find a solution as soon as possible, be it through negotiation or by using various methods. As a result, workers were affected, commuters were stranded on the roads and business cycles were disrupted. He says that the government should pay attention to this.

Nepal Chamber of Commerce President Kamlesh Kumar Agarwal said that there were many tragic incidents in the demonstration led by Zen-G in Kathmandu on Monday. The security agency should have been sensitive, but it was not seen. The incident at the demonstration has made everyone sad," he said. "Whether it is against the government's ban on social media and corruption or any other movement, it has a direct impact on the economy. It affects the industry business.'

Now the economy is on the mend. But now it can have a negative impact. He said that many young people were directly affected when the government closed two dozen apps at once. Many have been making a living from social media. Online is also a means of contacting Nepalese who have gone abroad for employment. That contact has also been broken," he said. "From a commercial point of view, the means of doing business with China is only a medium. The closure of social networks has caused problems in foreign trade. Foreign investment will not come when social media is closed.'

President of the Federation of Nepal Construction Businessmen Ravi Singh said that because of the increase in lawlessness and corruption in the country, lack of employment and the government does not provide a comfortable environment for workers, the anger is seen in Gen-G. "It seems that the government has adopted a repressive policy, there are examples of more corruption in the name of regulating corruption," he said. "The government should take full responsibility for this. The anger is not only seen in Kathmandu, but also in the main cities of the country. Dissatisfaction is not only among the Gen-G generation, but everyone is angry about the country's system and the ongoing corruption." "The government suddenly shut down the social media," she said, "Social media was not just a means of exchanging news, it is linked to many people's livelihoods, businesses are running through it. Due to the sudden decision to shut down social media sites, livelihoods and businesses have come to a standstill."

NADA Automobiles Association of Nepal former president Dhruv Thapa said that the government action will immediately affect the tourism sector. An incident that should not have happened on Monday happened on Monday, it is a very sad matter. Demonstrations were also more suppressed. It seems that such an incident has happened for the first time in the history of Nepal. I have taken this as the dissatisfaction of the youth towards politics," he said. "The dissatisfaction from the past was seen on Monday. It just came out through Zen-G.'  He says that it is not right to control the media and social networks in the age of

technology. Old parties have come here through social media. It is wrong to say that you can't speak, you can't write, you can't protest. The immediate impact is in the tourism sector.

Shobha Gyawali, President of the Federation of Nepal Women Entrepreneurs, said that since the backbone of the country is the youth, their demands should be addressed and their movement should be managed in a peaceful manner. Young people's thoughts and ideas are new. They should have been able to use them in their own country without sending them out. Unless the youth can be created an environment to work in the country, then a prosperous country will not be possible," she said. "The economy of the country cannot be sustainable. Vigilantes played to harm Jen-Ji's peaceful movement, which is tragic.'' National Private and Residential Schools Association Nepal (NPABSON) President Subas Neupane said that the government used excessive force in the

movement. The government should not have used force to cause such a large number of loss of life. The method adopted by the government in the name of controlling the movement was not right, he said, adding that the youth were very used to social media. Therefore, the government should not have shut down the social network suddenly based on short notice. The government should now take steps to manage the agitation in a restrained manner so that there is no further loss of life.
