The government has been evicting squatters living on the banks of the Kathmandu Valley river for a week. The displaced squatters have been housed in Kirtipur, Dhapakhel, Kharipati, Bode, Nagarkot, Chobhar, Banepa and hotels.
Some of the displaced squatters have been housed in the hostel of the Nepal Electricity Authority's training center in Kharipati, Bhaktapur. They have been provided with food and accommodation at the center.
Niranjan Lamichhane, in-charge of the center, informed that 118 squatters had been brought in by Saturday afternoon. Among them, there are children to senior citizens. The center has two buildings with a capacity of 250 people.
Lamichhane said that the government has also ordered the vacating of another building, so it has been kept in readiness. He said that he has received information that another 150 squatters will arrive by the evening.
The squatters who have arrived here have said that they are worried about the future of their families and children. They say they were left stranded after the government used a bulldozer to manage the settlement. Some said they were unable to take anything except the clothes they were wearing. They are demanding immediate and permanent solutions to the management.
