Nepal Barber's Association of Province 1 staged a demonstration in Itaharai on July 25 against the government's discriminatory action of not allowing them to reopen their salon even after lifting lockdown while other businesses and vehicles have resumed.

Salon Operators demanded to reopen salon without and hindrance, corona insurance of Rs 5 million for free, free PCR test, deduction of interest rates by banks and financial institutions, subsidized house rent of the lockdown period, and relief from the government.
