Thousands of people marched in the capital on Wednesday the day after the government said it would withdraw the controversial Guthi Bill.
Many within the Valley’s Newar community say the bill had repressive provisions aimed at dealing a blow to indigenous culture and traditions.
Thousands of protestors, especially from Newar community, have gathered at Maitighar Mandala demanding the government scrap the bill altogether.
