A group of Indian volleyball players trapped in Nepal have successfully rescued a group of Indian volleyball players on the immediate appeal of presenter Upasana Gill. This rescue operation is being carried out at a time when violent demonstrations are going on in the country and the number of dead has increased to 51. These players, who came to Nepal to participate in a volleyball league, were trapped in the city of Pokhara due to unrest after the controversial ban by the government on social media platforms. The movement began as opposition to digital rights, the movement turned into a nationwide movement against corruption and nepotism, resulting in Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign.

Gill Gaya Gill shared a video on social media to host the league in which he made his frustrated appeal after the mob was attacked by a mob. Guin said in a video that I had come here to host the Volleyball League. The hotel in which I stopped was burnt. All my belongings were in my room. I was in the spa when people ran with big sticks. I barely ran away after saving my life. After this video, Indian officials immediately took action. Embassy officials, who were already in contact with the team, arranged for safe transfer from Pokhara to a safe place in Kathmandu. Most of the rescued people have now returned to India, while arrangements are being made to bring the remaining members back.
