The campaign to remove illegally constructed structures encroaching on Bagmati and its tributaries and government and public land in Kathmandu Valley has been intensified.
In coordination with the Ministry of Urban Development, District Administration Office, Kathmandu and Kathmandu Metropolitan City, unauthorized structures were removed in the Kapan area of Budhanilkantha Municipality on Sunday, said Kathmandu Assistant District Officer Mukti Ram Rijal.
'The process of removing illegally constructed houses and huts in Kapan's Sattale, Pathibhara, Tenzing Chowk and other areas is underway,' he said.
The process of clearing encroached structures in Anamnagar-Devinagar, Bishnumati River banks, KMC-16 Balaju-Machhapokhari and Tilganga areas is underway along the Dhobikhola River corridor. According to him, so far, about 2,300 houses and huts have been removed in the Kathmandu Valley.

The process of removing encroached structures and squatter settlements in the valley began last Saturday after the directives of Prime Minister Balendra Shah. Structures were removed in areas including Thapathali, Sinamangal-Gairigaun in Kathmandu, and Manohara in Bhaktapur on Saturday.
The affected families have been kept in ‘holding centers’ in Kirtipur, Balaju, and Bhaktapur during the removal of encroached settlements. The landless squatters kept there have been identified and managed.
The government has started identifying the real squatters through the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation to provide long-term management to the families affected during the removal of settlements. Work is also underway to verify and verify the details of those who claim that they do not have the land provided by the Ministry of Urban Development.
