Victims of Genji Movement in Pokhara Seek Justice and Support

Pokhara. 'My father left us when I was young. I took care of my sons. When they grew up, they couldn't get relief allowance from the government because they didn't have citizenship,' Ambika Sapkota was narrating her pain standing at the Pokhara City Hall on Tuesday.

Her son Anish's left cheek and jawbone were fractured by a bullet during the Genji movement last year. Anish has not received a citizenship due to the absence of his father. He also did not receive the first phase of relief announced by the government due to not having citizenship.
