The squatters have protested after the government decided to remove the squatter settlements. They have been protesting in Thapathali since this morning. They have urged to ensure their right to housing by saying that the dozer terror should stop. Some civil society activists and stakeholders have reached Thapathali to support them. After the settlement was cleared, some are loading and moving their belongings. Some are confused and some are very scared. A different scene is seen in the settlement right now.
