Shram Sanskriti Party stages protest at Maitighar over treatment of landless people



KATHMANDU: Shram Sanskriti Party staged a protest demonstration at Maitighar Mandala on Saturday, accusing the state of suppressing landless and unmanaged settlers.

Organized under the slogan “This country belongs to the poor too,” the protest saw participants expressing concern over what they described as harsh treatment of landless and marginalized communities by the government.

Demonstrators carried placards with messages such as “Manage the landless before eviction,” “We stand for human rights,” “Protecting vulnerable groups is the state’s responsibility,” and “Provide land to the landless.”

Participants also criticized the government for removing informal settlements without providing proper alternatives or rehabilitation measures, alleging that the state was adopting an authoritarian approach toward vulnerable communities.
