Saloni Subedi sits on the lap of her mother, Parbati Subedi, the wife of Dev Kumar Subedi, who was shot dead during the protests.

 Subedi has received the 1.5m Nepalese rupees (£7,650) compensation that an interim government has provided to the families of 42 of the 77 killed that it declared martyrs.
