Borrowers of microfinance institutions stage a protest in Kathmandu on Wednesday. 

The debtors, who walked to Kathmandu from various districts, had planned to picket the Baluwatar-based Nepal Rastra Bank after a march from Sifal but were stopped at Bhatbhateni citing a no-go area. 

Their demands include scrapping microfinances, writing off their loans and removing loan defaulters from the black list and freeing up their collaterals.

Here are some photos of the protest captured by the Post’s photojournalist Prakash Chandra Timilsena.
