Landless

Minister of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dhanraj Gurung has said that it is necessary to show results to the citizens rather than promises only.

Flooding in the Myagdi River had swept away the house and land of Rikjana Majhi. The natural disaster turned her family landless.

The National Land Commission Office, Khotang has initiated a process to hand over land ownership to the landless squatters, Dalits, and unsettled inhabitants.

The commission has requested all local levels to not remove squatters or make them unsafe until the landowner certificate distribution is completed.

The village municipality had been inspecting the land for a long time but was unable to distribute it.

Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said the government is with the survivors of recent incidences of natural disasters and his ongoing visit to the affected areas reflected the same.

The Gandaki Province has collected the statistics of over 100 thousand landless squatters, landless Dalits and unmanaged settlers combined.
