Loan Shark Victims Stage Sit-in Near Bhrikutimandap
The swollen and strained legs of a Nepali loan shark victim, who has been walking for weeks to reach the capital Kathmandu, are being pictured during a sit-in protest event organized near the nation's administrative capital, the Singhadurbar, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 23, 2024. Hundreds of urban residents, duped by lenders charging high interest rates, have been walking for weeks, covering over a thousand kilometers to reach the national capital, demanding that the government address their demands.
