Rain halts Justice March, not protest, say meter loan victims

Summary

Persistent rainfall halted a Kathmandu-bound Justice March by exploitative loan victims in Rautahat, but protesters vow to continue until their demands for justice and property restitution are met.

Key Points
  • Persistent rainfall temporarily halted the Kathmandu-bound Justice March by loan sharking victims in Chandranigahapur, Rautahat.
  • Victims accuse the state of protecting exploitative loan sharks and demand justice and return of seized property.
  • Protesters have submitted a six-point memorandum calling for cancellation of fraudulent loan documents and formation of a commission and special tribunal.
  • Authorities' earlier commitments to address loan sharking remain unimplemented, and protesters vow to resume the march and continue their movement until demands are met.
