Indra Senchury and his tale of becoming a squatter

Indra Senchury (55) is a resident of Safredhunga, Kapan. He came to Kathmandu from Tadi rural municipality in Nuwakot 10 years ago with the hope of a better lifestyle. But life had something else planned for him as he lived most of his life in Kathmandu as a squatter.

His life has been full of trial and trepidation. Around 25 years ago, his wife was diagnosed with kidney failure. He spent a fortune on her treatment but she died in 1997 and he was left with nothing; no wife, and no money.
