The sit-in protest by the Chure Conservation March Group in the capital highlights a critical issue that demands immediate attention from government authorities. After a grueling 25-day march from Saptari to Kathmandu, the group has brought to the forefront the dire need to halt the exploitation of the Chure region. This issue is not just about conserving a landscape; it is intrinsically linked to the lives and livelihoods of the people across the Terai/Madhesh region.
