Swargadwari Trust’s tenant farmers stage protest demanding land ownership

The trust owned 1,354 hectares of land in Pyuthan, Dang and Rolpa districts, but this has dwindled to 711 hectares.

As a symbolic protest, farmers in Ghorahi of Dang district were harnessed to ploughs and paraded along the street in a bid to pressure the government into resolving their long standing issue of land ownership.
