Lockdown drags on but no relief package for the urban poor

According to Maharajan, compared to the lockdown last year, there haven’t been many requests for relief this time.

It has been over a month and a half since prohibitory orders were imposed in the Kathmandu Valley and many other districts to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, but little has been done to provide relief to the urban poor, most of whom have lost their livelihoods to the lockdown.
