Essential services such as ambulances, health workers, media, and tourists are exempted from the restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The curfew follows large-scale \u201cGen Z\u201d protests on Monday after the government blocked access to dozens of social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and X, for failing to register under new rules from the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demonstrators attempted to march on the Federal Parliament, where security forces responded with live fire, rubber bullets, and tear gas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 19 people were killed and more than 300 others were injured, according to local media reports. Most of the victims were teenagers and young adults, some of whom were wearing school uniforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors treating the injured described the scene as similar to a war zone. \u201cToday felt like a war.
