CM KC was speaking at an event organised in Butwal by the Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC), Lumbini Province. Similarly, Chief Attorney, Lumbini Province Shree Krishna Subedi and Executive Director, INSEC, Bijaya Raj Gautam underscored the need for the government to be serious about honouring and protecting human rights defenders.
