Tourism entrepreneurs have staged a peace rally in Pokhara to draw the attention of the government and other concerned parties of their plight.

The rally organized by an organization called Tourism Entrepreneurs for Peace started from Baidam and ended at Prithivi Chowk after passing through the tourist town’s major thoroughfares.

Participants of the rally demanded that the tourism sector be declared a zone of peace and urged the concerned parties not to impose blockades and strikes.

They also carried placards and banners calling for a resolution of the conflict through peace talks.

They organised the rally at a time when the tourism industry of the country is facing a very hard time due to the repeated blockades and strikes.

According to organizers, the number of tourists visiting Pokhara declined substantially in the recent days.
