Nepal Communist Party orders committees to manage social media pages

The Nepal Communist Party has issued instructions requiring all subordinate party committees to set up official social media pages or groups. Committees that already operate such digital channels must inform the central office, while those without them are directed to create official pages or groups immediately. This requirement forms part of an inter-party directive recently published by the party. The stated purpose of the digital communication guidelines is to organise and modernise the party's publication, publicity and digital operations while keeping them fact-based and effective. The directive was issued on 25 September following a meeting of the central coordination committee that took place on 23 September. Point seven of the document specifically outlines the procedures and expectations for managing social media platforms across the party structure. Furthermore, based on decisions made during the same meeting, the party launched a nationwide two-month awareness campaign running from 7 October until 25 November. The directive notes that this extensive campaign is designed to expand party activities across the country and build a foundation for future political events.
