Visually Impaired Protest for Livelihood Rights in Maitighar

Kathmandu. Visually impaired people have been protesting in Maitighar Mandala for nine days. They have been forced to protest as the government is not allowing them to do business, which they were doing as self-employment on the sidewalks.

Their main demand is the proper management of visually impaired and low-vision entrepreneurs or to be allowed to continue the business they have been doing. They complain that although they are earning a living through various professions and businesses, the government itself has become an obstacle.
