Following demolition drives in Kathmandu, informal settlers in Pokhara are living in fear, despite an interim order from the Supreme Court barring forced evictions. Pokhara Metropolitan City has issued notices to remove structures on encroached land, but around 19,634 households categorized as landless, informal settlers, or unregulated dwellers are protesting, vowing not to vacate unless alternative arrangements are provided.
