President Ramchandra Paudel said that the proposed ordinance to amend the Land Act, 2021, the Forest Act, 2075 and the National Park Act, 2029, has put a new provision in which land in parks and forest areas can be given to individuals, saying that it may be misused. According to Sheetal Niwas source, suspicions have arisen because the ordinance deals with real estate transactions, apartments, housing, etc.

Although four ordinances were issued out of the five recommended by the government on Monday, the President stopped it saying that it is necessary to study the ordinances related to land, forest and parks. According to the source, the President is interested in the new system of government land registration and will take a decision after studying the existing legal arrangements and the precedent of the Supreme Court.

The ordinance provides free ownership to landless Dalits and squatters who have built houses and lived on such land for a long time and are said to be covered by gauchars, haats, ghats and markets or forest areas or butyans. Provisions have been made to provide ownership of land to unorganized residents by taking prescribed fees. 

In the Ordinance, the Land Act, 2021 has been amended to exempt real estate business restrictions. "The law prohibiting the sale of land in excess of the limit has been changed and a provision has been made that the real estate business can take approval for the land in excess of the limit and develop it within a specified period and sell it as a house," said an official.

An officer of the President's Office said that the provision that national parks, rivers, and riverside lands can be registered in the name of Sobasi (long-time occupants) has increased the risk of abuse. "Since international treaties and agreements are also attracted, it is seen that it should be studied with their reference," he said. 

The duration of the ordinance is only 60 days. Ordinance should be introduced in the first sitting of Parliament. There is a constitutional provision that if the ordinance is not accepted within sixty days, it will be automatically revoked. Sheetal Niwas naturally wondered why the government was in such a hurry to issue an ordinance on such a serious matter of public concern at the time of convening the winter session,'' the source said. .' 

Presidential legal advisor Baburam Kunwar said that the ordinance is under study. "Because it is a public concern and a serious matter, the President showed some interest, there was also a lack of time on Monday to study it further, Tuesday was a public holiday," Kunwar said, "After the study, the necessary decision will be taken by the President." 

Minister of Home Affairs Ramesh Akhtar said that it was only trying to clear the trouble created by the fact that there is no forest or Bhutan in the field but there is a forest on the map. "On the basis of the seven-point agreement between Congress and UML on June 17, the government has brought an ordinance to work in the areas of economic reform, investment environment and good governance in order to get immediate results," he said. 

Since the economic situation of the country is not yet in a proper rhythm, the Minister of Home Affairs has brought an ordinance to bring the economy back to the rhythm, to create an environment for the private sector to do business, to ensure an environment for bringing in foreign investment, to create an environment for the expansion of the IT sector even abroad and to work urgently in the field of good governance. is "There is no dispute within the coalition, the ordinance was brought with the consent of the two parties, the constitutional right to bring it belongs to the government," he said.
