Classification Complete for 200 Injured in 'Genji' Protests, Health Ministry Reports

Kathmandu. Two hundred people injured during the 'Genji' demonstrations have been classified. Ministry of Health and Population spokesperson Dr. Prakash Budhathoki stated that details for the classification of 200 injured individuals have been received so far.

He informed that 183 were classified in Kartik and Mangsir, 16 in Poush, and only one in Magh. "The District Administration Office is supposed to send details of those injured during the 'Genji' demonstrations, but the office reported that despite issuing notices multiple times, the injured did not come into contact. That is why the number classified is not high," said spokesperson Budhathoki.

Budhathoki informed that since many did not make contact, the process of classifying the injured and collecting details of new casualties will proceed by setting a specific deadline. Budhathoki understands that although many were injured during the 'Genji' demonstrations, some might not have come forward because minor injuries do not qualify for certain benefits.

According to him, the ministry's statistics show that 2,599 people were injured during the 'Genji' demonstrations.
