The Division Forest Office Dolakha has given a seven-day deadline to remove the illegal house towers built in the forest area of Shailung, a tourist area. A notification has been issued giving seven days time to remove the illegal structures built in the forest area of Kalapani in Shailung Rural Municipality-1 and 8.
The Division Forest Office had issued a 15-day notice on May 2 and asked them to remove the illegal structures. Chief of Division Forest Office, Dolakha, Krishnaraj Neupane informed that the office has given a deadline of seven days to stop the illegal construction of illegal structures by occupying the tourist forest area.
"Within seven days, the hotels and other structures built in the forest area will be removed by force," Chief Neupane said.
In the year 2079, the Shailung rural municipality took the land of the forest area and leased it to local businessmen to operate hotels and other businesses. However, the Government Land Registration and Leasing Policy, 2071 provides that the land granted free occupancy for the purpose of social services cannot be used for commercial purposes or for rent.
It is said that the rural municipality has adopted this strategy and leased the land in the forest area to businessmen. On that land, the municipality has built two community structures including a goal house. The authority said that the authority is investigating that the community structure was leased to businessmen to operate the hotel.
"According to the letter of authority, the removal of the permanent structures built in the forest area in Shailung's Kalapani has started," Chief Neupane said, "we have measured all the structures built in the forest area and posted notices. If they are removed, we will be forced to use force."
He said that it was found that the municipality had entered into an agreement to lease that land to various people for 30 years. He clarified that the private hotel structure built in the forest area will be removed and the community building will be vacated.
