Youths in Pokhara staged a demonstration on Monday to express their solidarity with Dr Govinda KC.
The agitating participants affiliated to the ‘Jagaun Pokhara’ campaign held a protest rally and made noise as a symbolic pressure to the government to save Dr. KC who is on the 22nd day of his 19th fast-unto-death seeking reforms in the medical education sector.
The participants marched on the streets in Pokhara from Prithivi Chowk to Manab Adhikar Chowk.
