NEPALGUNJ, August 24: Complaints have been registered against loan sharks in the Banke District Administration Office. 

As many as 15 victims registered their complaints against exploiters as of August 21 after the government called for grievances against loan sharks, according to Section Office at DAO, Banke, Ram Kumar Sonkar. 

"We invited all the concerned sides and held discussion on the matter acting on the complaints," he said. "They had invested less than the amount stipulated in the paper. The amplified amount ranges from one million to two million rupees while the invested amount was quite low."

Sonkar further shared that they are still receiving complaints on loan-sharking. In this connection, a letter was sent to the Home Ministry to inform them of the issue. Some victims have even registered writ petitions at courts against the loan sharks. 

The Home Ministry had earlier directed local administrations across the country to receive complaints from victims as loan sharks had allegedly exploited illiterate and financially weaker sections of the society.
