Kathmandu, Sept. 12 -- After two days of turmoil, a semblance of calm returned to Kathmandu on Thursday as the international airport resumed flights, shops opened for two hours and people were seen queueing up outside fuel stations, guarded by the army that continued to patrol the streets and enforce a curfew. At the airport, the crowd comprised migrant workers, who lived on the streets for almost two days waiting for the flights to resume, tourists stuck in their hotel rooms watching the beautiful valley descend into chaos, many wondering if they will be able to retain their jobs abroad before violence ends, and some just wanting to return home. Airport officials said thousands of Indian nationals are still stuck in different parts of the country unable to escape. Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet also resumed their flights on Thursday. Among the passengers was Namrat Basnet, 36, a Nepalese migrant worker in Saudi Arabia. "The lives of nearly 40-50% of Nepalese citizens are dependent on migrant workers like me who go abroad and send money back home. The ban on social media apps was a setback for us. We use the apps to send money, talk to our family members. It is through these apps on the phone that we see our children grow virtually on cell phone screens. The protest had started because of people like us. I am glad, I am returning after the government took back the decision. It is a relief," said the steel worker. The airport opened after two days of deadly anti-corruption protests that forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign, as leaders of the agitation threw up a clutch of names of people who could head an interim government. The protests, initially against a government ban on 26 social media apps, quickly turned violent on Tuesday as police bullets killed at least 25 people and injured scores of others. The protesters, many of them Gen Z, are negotiating with the army and other leaders for a new interim government. Wearing Nepal national flags and garlanded for their safe journey outside the country,thousands waited outside the airport. Vijay Kumar Mandal, 25, a resident of Janakpur, had come to the airport with 12 friends from his village to fly to Saudi Arabia for work. "We were to leave on September 9 but as soon as we came here, the violence was unfolding. Our flight was cancelled and we had to spend the first night in a godown outside a local businessman's house. On our second night, our supervisor, who found us the job in Saudi Arabia, took us to another place to spend the night. For two days, it seemed we had lost our livelihood. This morning, we were told that the flights resumed and we were given new tickets," he said....
