The NEPSE index has hit its third consecutive negative circuit. Following the third circuit break, share trading was suspended for the day.

This sharp fall occurred on Thursday, the first trading day since the change in government after the Gen-Z movement.

When trading resumed at 11:22 AM, the market again plunged 5% within a minute, triggering the second circuit break and another suspension.
