Nepal revoked the ban on social media it had imposed after violent protests by youths rocked the country on Monday, with police's use of force leaving at least 19 people dead and over 300 others injured, and home minister Ramesh Lekhak resigning over the situation.
Making the announcement, Nepal Minister for Communication, Information and Broadcasting Prithvi Subba Gurung said that the government has withdrawn its earlier decision to ban social media sites following an emergency meeting of the Cabinet.
