The families of the martyrs have warned that they will intensify their agitation if the decision is not implemented immediately.
The Gen-G martyrs' family has staged a sit-in at the gate of the Prime Minister's and Council of Ministers' Office, Singha Durbar.
Martyr families have protested saying that the decision of the Council of Ministers to provide monthly subsistence allowance has not been implemented.
According to Roshan Gautam, secretary of the Gen-G Martyr Family Welfare Society, they were forced to sit on a dharna at the Prime Minister's Office after having to run around to various ministries. 'Now we have to run from one ministry to another. Since we have to walk around carrying files, we have decided to sit on a dharna at the Prime Minister's Office,' he said.
About 20 members of the martyrs' families are participating in the dharna. 'Rather than walking around the ministries carrying files, we have come to the conclusion that we should raise our voice at the Prime Minister's Office,' Gautam said.
Despite the decision of the Council of Ministers, they complain that the legal process for releasing the subsistence allowance has not yet progressed.
Earlier, the Ministry of Urban Development had assured that the money would be sent by the 2nd. But after the minister and his private secretary did not pick up the phone, the martyrs' families went straight to the Prime Minister's Office.
The martyrs' families have warned that they will intensify their agitation if the decision is not implemented immediately. They have said that they will hold a sit-in at the Prime Minister's Office and will be forced to take more stringent steps if their demands are not met.
