Abstract
The paper has objectives: to explain the gang phenomenon in Kathmandu Valley, their causes of effectiveness, the politicization of criminal gangs in the post-conflict situation, and the counter-product of governmental intervention. It has discussed the present challenges that the Valley has been facing, and possibilities of future challenges it has to confront. Youths’ identity crisis, social opportunities, rapid urbanization and incorrect approaches to gangs’ suppression are the key frameworks to find out the causes behind the criminal gangs being increasingly active in Kathmandu Valley. Interestingly, marginalized and suppressed social members feel secure and protected in the gang. The researcher has identified that the criminal gangs are the social fact of the rapidly urbanized society of the Kathmandu Valley where prevention policies have been neglected a lot. As a result, suppression policies have failed, thus, the new forms of gang-related crimes have emerged and expanded far and huge.

Summary
Various types of criminal gangs are often found deeply enrooted in the society as a strong institution.[1] They tend to progress and make an increasing mobility during the situation of social change, economic transformation and political transition. Their rapid advancement seems robust in the urban areas such as Kathmandu Valley, besides others, which ostensibly has faced many challenges like uncontrolled migration, unemployment, and inequality, largely cast as the result of the armed conflict. 10 Manoj Kumar KC, Identifying Effective Measures to Combat Organized Crime in Post-Conflict Nepal: A Case Study from Kathmandu, November 2012
