On Wednesday, the CPN-UML was scheduled to hold a Madhes state-level public awareness program at Parwanipur in Bara.

The tension stemmed from Wednesday’s event, when party General Secretary Shankar Pokharel and youth leader Mahesh Basnet among other leaders were heading to Simra from Kathmandu to address the program.

In retaliation, a group of anguished GenZ youths reached the Simra Airport, vandalized the gate of the airport, entered the airport premises, hurled stones and glass bottles at the airport office.

Security personnel subsequently fired two rounds of tear gas to disperse the mob.

The World Children’s Day 2025 is being observed across the globe, including Nepal today under the theme "My day, my rights."

The theme focuses on amplifying children's voices and the importance of their rights while another prominent theme "For Every Child, Every Right," emphasizes that every child deserves affection, care, and the opportunity to grow.

At the call of the United Nations, the Day is celebrated annually on November 20. Also known as Universal Children’s Day, this was the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child.

On the same day in 1989, the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Since 1990, the Day has also marked the anniversary of the day the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Meanwhile, UNICEF, the UN's specialized agency working for children and their rights, has appealed to all to amplify children’s voices and stand up for the rights of every child. Children and young people are powerful agents of change, bringing new ideas and perspectives that can help shape a better world for all of us.

In his World Children's Day message, UN Secretary-General António Guterres highlighted that the future is defined by how we care for the next generation, but acknowledged that children's rights are under attack from poverty, conflict, and climate change.

He urged that, on this day, we should listen to children and amplify their voices as they advocate for their rights, emphasizing that it is our responsibility to build a safe and equal world for every child.
