IN PICS: Landless squatters stage protest in capital

KATHMANDU, Nov 17: Soon after the government issued an ultimatum to demolish houses and buildings in Bagmati corridor – built encroaching the Bagmati River–, the landless squatters staged a protest in Kathmandu on Thursday demanding the land ownership documents.

The protesters have maintained that the government’s move is against the Constitution.
