-Shobha Gyawali, president
Nepal Women's Entrepreneur Federation
The backbone of any country is the youth . Their contribution to the country's economy is huge. The government should have started to manage the Gen G youth. Young people's thoughts and ideas are new. They should have been able to use them in their own country without sending them out. As long as the youth cannot be made to work in the country, a prosperous country cannot be created. The country's economy cannot be sustainable. Vigilantes played to spoil Jen Ji's peaceful protest, which is tragic. A tragic incident happened when a person was shot at while raising the issue that social media should not be shut down, from raising their voice to appreciating Jane Ji's thoughts in order to create an environment in which they can live in their own country.

Nepal Industry Confederation
Dozens of young people lost their lives in the movement of Gen G. This is unfortunate . The government should make a peaceful environment by co-ordinating with Zen Ji with wisdom. It seems that the government has used more force than necessary . Instead of using force, the government should have started to create a peaceful environment through consensus and understanding. The government should play a role to calm the agitated gen ji . Their cases should also be heard. If the right issue has been raised, it should be addressed. Be it through
talks or using various methods, the government must find a solution as soon as possible. Various areas of the country including various areas of Kathmandu Valley have been shut down by the Zen G Movement. The demand of Genji is that good governance should be maintained in the country, and they should be able to vote freely, which is a right given by the constitution. Most of the means of transport were closed on Monday. The people working there were affected by this. Passengers were stranded on the road. The cycle of business is broken . Now the government should negotiate and find a solution as soon as possible.

Monday's tragic incident has caused deep pain in the hearts of all Nepalis. It is very painful to hear the news of the loss of life of the young brothers and sisters of the Gen-G generation who are fighting for their rights . The demand of Gen-G generation is not only for them but for the bright future of Nepal as a whole. It is necessary for all of us to respect the timely and fair demands of the new generation.

National Private and Residential Schools Association Nepal (NPABSON)
The government used excessive force in the movement of Gen-G . The government should not have used force to cause such a large number of loss of people's wealth. The method adopted by the government in the name of controlling the movement was not correct. The main demand of the movement is to withdraw the government's decision to shut down social networks. The young generation was very accustomed to social media. Therefore, on the basis of short notice, the government should not have closed the social network. Even from the government's point of view, it is not unreasonable to ask social networks to register. But it is not good to suddenly deprive the Jamaat who are benefiting from the network by closing the network . The government should now take the initiative to manage the movement in a moderate manner so that no more loss of human wealth occurs.

NADA Automobiles Association of Nepal
An incident that should not have happened on Monday, this is a very sad matter . Repression was also seen more in the demonstration . It seems that such an incident has happened for the first time in the history of Nepal . I have taken this as the distaste for politics in the younger generation . Dissatisfaction from the past was seen on Monday. It only came out through Genji . In the age of
technology, it is not right to control the media, social networks . Old parties have come here through social media. It is wrong to say that one cannot speak, one cannot write, one cannot protest.
This kind of movement affects the business. The immediate impact is on the tourism sector. You should be able to tell wrong from wrong and right from right. Dozens of citizens would not have died if the government had not suppressed it.

President, Nepal Chamber of Commerce
Many tragic incidents took place in the demonstration held in Kathmandu on Monday under the leadership of Genji. The security agency should have been sensitive to this, but it was not seen. The incident at the demonstration has made everyone sad. Whether it is against government bans on social media and against corruption or any other movement, it has a direct impact on the economy . Affects industry business .
Now the economy is improving . But now it may have a negative impact. Many young people have been directly affected when the government shut down two dozen apps at once. Because many have been making a living through the same means . Online is also a means of contacting Nepalis who have gone abroad for employment. That contact is also broken . From a commercial point of view, Wichit is the only way to do business with China. Due to the closure of social media, there has been a problem in foreign trade . When social networks are closed, foreign investment does not come.
