United National Squatter, Citizen Movement, and Genji Movement Alliance

Landless and unorganized residents marched in Kathmandu, protesting what they describe as the state's "insensitive bulldozer terror" and evictions without alternatives. The demonstration, organized by an alliance of squatter and citizen movements, demanded the state provide immediate and appropriate alternative management for those displaced from their ancestral lands. Protesters chanted slogans against perceived "gun rule" during the Republic Day period.
