At least something positive!

Did they only have 1 day weekends prior to this?

I wish I could answer that question, but I can’t think of a single handy reference for information that I could check to get more information about OPs headline that they posted…

If only there was even a single sentence shown here that could possibly answer the question! Alas, we may never know.

You could read the article to get answer to your question but I’ll answer the nuance that you might have been asking for as well. Nepal had a 6 day work week but still had 40 hour work week with sun-thurs being 10-5 and Friday being 10-3. This essentially makes the work week same as the US with 6 days, 9-5. Still 40 hours but needing to travel 1 day less to save fuel.

yes (it's literally the first fucking sentence of the article.)

Do you mean today* weekends, as in whatever today is, it’s the weekend? No objection from me 👌

(But yeah, first line of the article said they used to only have Saturdays off.)

Welcome to 19th century workers’ rights, Nepal. Glad you finally made it.
