Frustrated Share Investors Protest Outside SEBON Office Demanding Policy Action

Share Market of Nepal has been falling since the new government take charge, in 100 days of the new government NEPSE falls more than 300 points.

Frustrated by a continuous decline in the stock market, share investors gathered outside the central office of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) today in the morning around 9 am  to launch a formal protest. Led by prominent investor and activist Tilak Koirala, the demonstration highlighted the growing anxiety among ordinary investors who feel vulnerable to the market's ongoing downward spiral. The protest is on going in front of the SEBON buildings. 

The protestors surrounded the regulator's headquarters (SEBON), calling for immediate and effective decision making from both the government and regulatory authorities to address the market's current distress. The demonstrators urged authorities to end their apparent indifference toward the stock market and demanded robust, protective measures to shield everyday investors from further financial damage.

In anticipation of the protest, security was heavily tightened around the SEBON premises after activist groups threatened to lock down the office gates. Security personnel locked the main entrance to prevent any unauthorized entry, while a significant deployment of Nepal Police officers kept watch inside and outside the perimeter to maintain order and prevent any escalation.
