Three years after the land use regulations were issued, only 167 out of 753 municipalities in the country have fully classified land. It is said that if the remaining 586 municipalities do not classify the land by next June, the work related to land administration will be stopped. Earlier, even in August 2081, due to non-classification of land, work related to land administration including kittakat in 620 municipalities came to a standstill.

On August 27, 2081, the municipality was given time until June 2082 to classify the land by amending the Land Use Regulations, 2079 for the second time. At that time, only 133 municipalities had fully classified land. Since the beginning of August 2081, work related to land administration including Kittakat was stopped in 620 municipalities.

The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation revised the regulations for the second time after Kitkatat stalled. According to the Department of Land Management and Records, 167 municipalities have a complete classification with categories, 324 municipalities have a partial classification, 47 municipalities have decided to separate agriculture and non-agriculture only from the relevant local land use council, but it has not been implemented, and nothing has happened in 215 municipalities.

If 586 municipalities do not classify land by next June, the work related to land administration will be affected again, said Ganesh Bhatt, spokesperson of the Ministry of Land Management. He says that he is guiding the municipalities for land classification. "We have sent a letter through the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration last March as well," he said, "Land classification should be prioritized by municipalities." Until November 2079, only some municipalities had allocated agricultural areas. After November 2079, the land had to be classified into 10 regions. But After most of the municipalities did not classify the land, on 32nd July 2080, by revising the regulations, it was arranged that four forts should be designated as open agricultural areas within one year.  By amending the

rules, residential and commercial land up to 80 square meters area and agricultural land up to 1 ropani can be allotted. Earlier, residential land could not be allotted less than 130 square meters. In terms of agricultural land, there was a provision that less than 500 square meters in the valley and 675 square meters in Terai and Inner Madhesh could not be allotted.

The land classified by the government has separate criteria for agriculture, residential and commercial. According to the regulations, local road standards must be met for commercial housing. The ministry revised the regulations for the second time in August 2081, after the municipality did not classify despite adding one year period from the first amendment.

Although time has been extended by revising the regulations twice for land classification, still not all municipalities have classified land. A senior official of the Law Ministry said that the regulations have been amended twice and now the Ministry of Lands has been asked not to do so. "When the ministry gave consent to amend the land use regulations for the second time, we already said that we will not give consent to amend the same provision in the future," said the law ministry official, "Now the land ministry should not come to amend the same provision." The 62nd report of the Auditor General has pointed out that land should be classified in order to manage land acquisition in a practical manner. In the Auditor General's report, it is mentioned that only 199 out of 753 municipalities have classified land. "In order to manage the allocation practically, all the municipalities should be equipped with resources and coordinated to classify the land based on the land use map data transferred from the surveying department," the report said.
