Nepali nationals staged a protest against unofficial blockde imposed by India in front of the Geneva  office of the UN,  where Nepal’s rights record is being reviewed at the 23rd Universal Periodic Review, on Thursday.

Around 100 Nepalis, including former president of Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) Jiba Lami-chhane, staged the protest for an hour against the blockade that has caused acute shortage of essentials like fuel and medicines in Nepal. Lamichhane said that NRNA would take the initiative to mobilise Nepali diaspora all over the world to bring the issue to notice of the world.
