IN PICS: Landless squatters vs KMC

KATHMANDU, Nov 29: The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) took action to demolish houses and buildings at Thapathali, Bagmati corridor – built encroaching the Bagmati River – on Monday.

Soon after the government’s move, the landless squatters took to the street and obstructed the KMC’s action.

As many as 18 Metropolitan Police personnel were injured in the clash between landless squatters and the government.

The people living in the area staged a protest on Tuesday morning as well.
