The National Human Rights Commission has made public its investigation report on the Gen-G agitation and protests that took place on Bhadra 23 and 24 last year. The commission has recommended that the then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, and Minister for Communications and Information Technology Prithvi Subba Gurung enact new laws and take action regarding the incidents that took place during the agitation.
