NHRC calls for justice to social boycott survivors

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has urged the local administration and local government to ensure justice to Tanka Prasad Acharya,77, a resident of Rupakot Majhuwagadhi municipality-1, who was socially boycotted for his disbelief in untouchability.

Acharya was boycotted by his fellow society for taking part in a joint feast organised by the Province no. 1 government as part of its effort to build a society free of untouchability. The event had taken place two years ago.
