Loan-shark victims have arrived in the Kathmandu Valley after an arduous journey of 11 days, seeking justice.
The victims, who stayed at Pauwa in Matatirtha on Saturday night, reached the federal capital city on Sunday.
Some of them were carrying nursing babies while some of them were on the support of sticks.
Farmers, who were suffering from loan-shark traveled from Bardibas in Mahottari to Kathmandu, after the governments did not pay heed to their problems.
That is why they have now entered Kathmandu in search of justice for themselves.
When Nepalkhabar reporter reached Kulekhani on Saturday, some of them were found tired while some were sick. Some had broken legs with their lips parched. However, they had not lost their zeal and confidence. They looked optimistic.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Home Affairs has drafted a law to solve the problem of the farmers hit by loan-sharking and has already sent it to the Ministry of Law.
In the meantime, the government has already taken action against 350 individuals on the charge of practicing and promoting loan shark locally known as ‘meter byaj’.
