Break the cycle

Most loan shark victims will continue to be denied justice unless the local bodies become more active.

Long marches of loan shark victims to Kathmandu, the federal capital, from every part of the country, seems to be a never-ending saga. Reportedly , this time, people from the eastern districts, including Sunsari, Morang, Dhanusha and Rautahat, have already begun their journey to the capital from the Kakarvitta border in the Jhapa district. This march, as has always been the case, is aimed at amplifying voices for justice against usury—the practice of lending money at exorbitant interest rates.
