The count is 19. And it's mostly students, few of who were still in their school uniform. Many head injuries, and death by bullets on the head. This is the darkest day in Nepal!
Edit: And the protest was against corrupt politicians, not social media ban.
Because a lot of systems depend on the "time". As a simple example, the software that the workers use to "sign in" and "sign out" for the day depends on it, and needs bi-yearly updates. A lot of automated systems like ATM machines, telephone plans, etc. depend on the "time", and they require less maintenance if the time doesn't need to change twice a year.
