Bagmati, Kathmandu, Kathmandu

Artists staged a protest in front of the Kathmandu metropolis on July 4 against the erasure of a picture on the wall of the sky bridge at Ratna Park in Kathmandu. They protested against Mayor Vidya Sundar Shakya with placards.

Under the leadership of  Dujang Sherpa, a picture was painted on the wall of the sky bridge in honor of health workers, security personnel, journalists, corpse management team, pilots, and cleaners who have been at the forefront of the coronavirus pandemic. But after the metropolis recently erased the wall painting, there has been a widespread protest saying that it was painted after written approval. They allege the decision as an insult to the honor of front-line workers.
