Ninth settlement of the disputed land today, although the target was to be completed within 54 months of the BTB agreement, the project work was stopped as the settlement continued.
It is seen that there will be a delay in the subsidy pipeline project due to the land dispute of Nepal Oil Corporation in Jhapa. Although the target is to be completed within 54 months of the Business to Business (BTUB) agreement, the project has been stalled as the pace continues.
The dispute reached the court after the people who sold the land to the corporation (the old rich Chhatra Bahadur Karki and his sister Rita Karki) tried to grab the land again.
According to the order of the district court, the land has been re-measured using digital mapping technology. At Rohbar of District Court Jhapa, land was measured by digital mapping technology by a team including surveyor's office, property office, police administration and corporation staff.
Even though the land surveying team has submitted the report to the court, it has not been resolved. Corporation Land Management Committee Coordinator Pradeep Yadav said that the pipeline project could not be progressed as soon as the Paci moved.
'BTV was done last Dasaint, the project work should be completed within 54 months. But Pacey moved on. Now Wednesday is the ninth payment," Yadav said, "It would be better if it was cleared soon from Adatal." An agreement has been reached in Jhapa that the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) will build the project with subsidies. He says that there is a delay in making a government-government (GTU) agreement for this.
With the plan to expand fuel storage, the corporation bought 23 bigha 3 katha 13 dhur land in Mechinagar Municipality-13 of Jhapa in 2074. The corporation claims that locals Chhatra Bahadur Karki and Rita Karki tried to grab two bighas of the said land. Although there was a red portion of the land purchased in Jhapa, two bighas were found less in the field. After that, the Corporation formed a 'Land Management Committee' to ensure and protect the land. Yadav, the coordinator of the committee, said that the team of Napi measured the land on February 30 and delivered the land to the field according to the parts. According to the surveyor's office, the two bighas that were brought into the possession of the corporation as inadequate by the surveyor were the land sold to the corporation by Chhatra Bahadur Karki and Rita Karki. The corporation bought 5 bighas out of the 8 bighas of the joint share of two people. But when the land was measured, only 3 bighas were found. Then a dispute arose.
On March 6, the District Court, Jhapa, gave an interim order to the Corporation not to construct any structure on the land. Both sides were brought to court and fixed for arguments on July 29. Then in August the Second District Court, Jhapa, ordered a re-examination.
District Court, Jhapa's Rohbar and Police Administration, Malpot and Napi Officers coordinated the measurements on October 5. Even after measuring the land, the dispute could not be resolved. Then on October 10, the measurement was done using digital technology. The report, which was measured using digital technology, was submitted to the court on November 14. The court fixed the payment on November 17. Since then, the salary has been fixed 8 times, but it has been moved. Now, the corporation said that the payment has been fixed for Wednesday (January 30).
