Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that a crisis has arisen when the Chure area is in a vicious cycle of human encroachment. Prime Minister Dahal said this while addressing a program organized in Mirchaiya Municipality-7 Hill Park area on the occasion of Chure Conservation Day.

"The Chure mountain system is the water source of Terai-Madhesh, the natural resources in the Chure region are the lifeline for the people living in the lower coastal area, i.e. Madhesh," Prime Minister Dahal said, "but today, the natural resources in the Chure conservation area in Jan or Anjan have fallen into a vicious cycle of human encroachment. . Physical infrastructure development without detailed project report, engineering design and environmental impact study has weakened the Chure mountain range.'

The collection and mining of stones, gravel, and sand has increased the exploitation of the Chure area, Prime Minister Dahal said, causing a serious crisis in the environmental integrity of the river system. He said that due to increasing population in Chure area, unorganized settlement, forest encroachment, forest fires, open grazing and exploitation of river materials, unorganized physical infrastructure construction, land erosion, its protection is becoming a challenge day by day.

Coordination, cooperation and joint efforts of the federal, provincial, local governments, local communities, and related agencies will be indispensable in the protection of the Chure region, he said. He said that the Chure region, which is connected with the lifeline of the majority of the people of Terai Madhesh, is a multi-faceted and multi-stakeholder issue.

'Coordination, cooperation and joint efforts of the federal, provincial, local governments, local communities, and concerned agencies are indispensable for the protection of the Chure area,' Prime Minister Dahal said, 'The Chure area is a multilateral and multi-stakeholder matter that is connected to the lifeline of the majority of the people of Terai Madhesh.'

He also said that only if nature is clean, human life will be safe and only if nature is protected by humans, nature will protect humans. He said that in order to save the people of Terai-Madhesh from disasters, the forests, flora, fauna and ecological system in the Chure area should be allowed to live cleanly and freely according to their natural processes.

Stating that the 20-year Chure Terai Madhesh Conservation and Management Master Plan approved in 2074 should be implemented with modifications, he informed that the need for a separate law for Chure conservation was seen and the government was coordinating the necessary efforts for that as well.

Mentioning that the tree planting program has given a positive message to the general public about forest and vegetation protection, Prime Minister Dahal said that in the past years, various types of saplings have been planted in vacant and damaged land including the river rise area, and bamboo and fruit trees have been distributed to the local people.&nbsp ;
