After Sudan Gurung resigned from the post of Home Minister, the responsibility of the Home Ministry has come under the Prime Minister. After that, Prime Minister Balendra Shah called the chiefs of the security agencies and gave instructions on the management of squatter settlements.
The metropolis, however, stated that it has taken this as a continuous campaign of city management. 'All parties are in agreement on the issue of creating an orderly Kathmandu,' said spokesperson Manandhar, 'This time the work is progressing, it should be taken positively. We had given enough time before. If we do not move at this time, force will be used.'
