Home Minister Bal Krishna Khand has directed the bodies concerned to accord high priorities to landless squatters in the process of distributing lands.
He urged the National Land Commission and office-bearers of the district committee to carry out result-oriented activities on the matter.
Inaugurating the Lumbini Province-level seminar for office-bearers of the district committee organized by the Commission, Kathmandu, in Butwal, he said the Commission accorded top priorities to provide land ownership to all citizens.
The incumbent government did not have political biasness in scrapping the erstwhile land related commission, but the new commission was formed to resolve land related problems as per the constitution, he said.
The newly elected people's representatives at the local level have got people's mandate to resolve problems of landless people and for it, the process should be forwarded in coordination with the Commission and the local level.
Similarly, Minister for Tourism, Rural and Urban Development of Lumbini Province, Dilli Bahadur Chaudhary urged the Commission office-bearers to start the process to distribute land ownership certificate while promising the provincial government's support for it.
The Commission Chairperson Keshav Niraula expressed his commitment to resolve the problems of landless squatters soon.
