The main responsibility of the interim government formed on the strength of the Gen-G movement is to hold elections on February 21, to investigate the facts of the August 23 movement and August 24 demonstration, and to investigate the past corruption-irregularities in the country and bring the culprits to justice.

The government has proceeded with the preparation of the election and the formation of the commission for the investigation of 23 and 24 August. But even though there are recommendations for action related to the irregularities since 2046, the question has started to arise as to when the more than a dozen reports kept hidden by the previous government will be implemented.

Former Prime Ministers KP Sharma Oli, Sher Bahadur Deuba and Pushpa Kamal Dahal led 3 reports related to the irregularities hidden by the Sushila Karki led Election Council of Ministers for implementation. Last Thursday's cabinet meeting decided to send the report to the relevant ministry for implementation. But there are about a dozen reports that were kept hidden and could not be implemented even though they were made public.

Tribhuvan University's land and immovable property search committee 2081, high-level study and investigation committee 2082 formed to solve problems related to immigration and visit visa, and the report of the high-level study and suggestion committee formed for the improvement of the civil aviation sector 2082, says Jagdish Kharel, government spokesperson and information and communication minister. 

He said that it was decided to send the report on the land of the University to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, and the investigation report of the immigration and visit visa to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Civil Aviation. According to the decision of the Council of Ministers, the report will be made public and implemented, Minister Kharel said. According to a minister, the reports hidden by the previous government involving former ministers, leaders of political parties and high-ranking officials, including smuggling of 33 kg and 61 kg of gold, are being investigated for implementation. "Now we have published the reports that have been requested by the relevant ministries for public and implementation, we will publish other such reports and go for implementation," says Minister Kharel.

The report submitted in November 2081 regarding the encroachment of hundreds of ropani lands of the University by accessors was also not made public by the then Oli government. With the current government deciding to implement the report, Education Secretary Chudamani Paudel has said that it will be made public through the website.

"As soon as we receive it from the Cabinet, we will make it public and implement it," he says. When Raswapa leader Sumana Shrestha was the education minister, the government led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal formed an inquiry committee under the coordination of former secretary Sharda Prasad Trital in June 2081. The committee submitted a report to the then Prime Minister Oli last November. But Oli did not make it public.

Although the report on the land embezzlement of Sanskrit University, which was established at that time, was published, that of the University was kept hidden from the Prime Minister. Officials of the Ministry of Education claim that the report was kept secret after it was found that leaders of Congress and UML were involved in encroachment of the land of the University.

The investigation committee has revealed that about 2400 ropani land has been embezzled and encroached upon. The Land Investigation and Search Committee found that around 1000 ropani of land around the university had been lost, 1000 ropani of land had been encroached on in other places and about 400 ropani of land in Luvhu and Pulchok of Lalitpur had been out of use for years.

The university claims that 3700 ropani land should be under the central office. It is estimated that 1400 plantations are under encroachment. The committee has concluded that about 1000 ropani of Balkhu area has been shrunk and 375 ropani of Luvu and 21 ropani of land around Pulchok, received from the Rajdarbar, have also been embezzled.

Earlier, the details of encroachment of 1,000 Ropani land by the connivance of officials have been made public. Out of this, 125 saplings were encroached on Naikap, 118 saplings were encroached by the laboratory school in the university campus, 150 saplings were encroached by the BP Planetarium office, 24 saplings were collected by the Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Project, 13 saplings were encroached by Radhaswami Satsang Vyas, and 30 saplings were encroached upon by the National Ayurveda Research and Training Center.

Oli also hid the report of the Higher Education Commission in 2075. The report was published by the Dahal government when Shrestha was the education minister. The report of the investigation commission on medical education, which was hidden by former Prime Minister Deuba since 2074, was also made public and sent for implementation. The commission chaired by the former president of the special court, Gauri Bahadur Karki, has recommended action against 42 people, but it has not been implemented.

The Oli government formed a committee under the chairmanship of former chief secretary Shankardas Bairagi to investigate immigration and visit visas. The Council of Ministers has also decided to send the report to the Ministry of Home Affairs for implementation. The committee was formed after the opposition party continuously obstructed the parliament to investigate the extortion of visit visas from immigration and human trafficking.

After it was found that the then immigration chief and joint secretary Tirtharaj Bhattarai was involved in the case, the authority arrested him and started an investigation. It is alleged that even the then Home Minister Ramesh Utkar had protection and involvement. Research has not been done to get to the bottom of it.

The Bairagi-chaired commission's report, which only made policy recommendations for improving immigration and visit visas, was submitted to the government before Dasain. According to Ministry of Home Affairs sources, although the issue of visit visa irregularities is not mentioned in the report, it is ready to implement the report with suggestions for improvement.

The authority has said that it is preparing to file a case in a special court against some employees including Bhattarai. It is alleged that in the immigration setting, employees including the chief are transferred, millions of rupees are collected daily and that amount reaches the level of the home minister. As soon as the authority started investigating some of the immigration officials including Bhattarai, they were transferred by the Home Minister.

In November 2081, a high-level committee was formed for the holistic study of Nepal's civil aviation sector. Although the report was submitted by the committee chaired by former Supreme Court judge Anil Kumar Sinha, it was not made public and implemented. The committee has analyzed the overall study of the civil aviation sector and recommended suggestions for developing a safe, reliable and trustworthy civil aviation system. The three Sinhas are currently in the role of law enforcement and justice under the responsibility of the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs.

The report of the commission and committee formed to investigate gold smuggling from Tribhuvan International Airport has not been made public yet. Although more than 700 quintals of gold were smuggled in the last one decade, the government itself made the report disappear after finding political 'connection' in the smuggling.

The investigation commission report on 33 kg gold smuggling in 2074 and 61 kg gold smuggling in 2080 has not been made public yet. Even though Oli, Deuba and Dahal have been Prime Minister many times, they have never shown the initiative to bring the culprits to justice by publishing the report on gold smuggling. 

Porter Sanam Shakya was murdered on 18 February 2074 after 33 kg of gold brought by a smuggler from Dubai disappeared. After the murder, a 9-member investigation committee was formed under the coordination of the then joint secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ishwarraj Paudel, to search for the missing gold, search for the murderer and investigate the smuggling network. The

committee submitted a report to Prime Minister Oli in Baluwatar on 16 July 2075. At that time the Home Minister was Ram Bahadur Thapa. A report on the search for missing gold has not yet been made public. Coordinator Paudel is currently the Chief District Officer of Kathmandu. To some extent, the government did not even give the report even to the powerful commission formed to investigate the case of 61 kg of gold being smuggled through the airport in 2080. 

The Ministry of Home Affairs responded that the report was not found in the archives. The Council of Ministers formed a commission on 14 October 2080 under the chairmanship of former judge Dilliraj Acharya to find political involvement in the gold smuggling case, bring those involved to action and suggest policy, administrative and structural reforms to prevent smuggling. Dahal was the Prime Minister at that time. Although the commission submitted a report to Ravi Lamichhane, the home minister of the Dahal-led government, in March, the report is still missing. 

Home Minister Omprakash Aryal said that the reports will be searched and brought out. "We are now understanding how many reports are yet to be made public, they will be published and implemented after searching," he said. Sources claim that the committee formed to investigate the smuggling of 33 kg of gold has recommended action against more than 292 people.

They are involved in smuggling, from porters to traders. Sources say that the Acharya Commission has pointed out that there is protection and involvement of leaders in the government and even high officials of the police in gold smuggling. In the past, the involvement of Durbar, Congress, UML leaders in gold smuggling, but in the recent smuggling, it seems that Maoist leaders/activists are more involved.

Even the report of the commission formed under the chairmanship of former judge Kesharjung Rayamazhi to investigate the suppression of the 2062/63 public movement has not been made public for 20 years. Although the commission found 211 people guilty and recommended action, no action was taken.

The Rayamazhi Commission recommended action against the then Vice-Chairman Tulsi Giri, Home Minister Kamal Thapa, Chief Secretary Lokmansingh Karki, Army Commander Pyarjung Thapa, Law Minister Niranjan Thapa, Inspector General of Armed Police Vasudev Oli, Inspector General of Police Shyam Bhakt Thapa, Rathi Rukmangad Katwal and more than four dozen chief district officers and regional administrators. 

But the government neither released the report nor took action against anyone. One of the convicts, Lokmansingh Karki, became the head of the authority with the support of Congress, UML and Maoists. The Medical Education Inquiry Commission 2074, chaired by former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki, which was formed to investigate the truth of the demonstrations on August 23 and 24, recommended action against the three Lokmans on charges of irregularities in medical education and college.

42 people including him were recommended to be prosecuted. The report was published in 2080 but the culprits have not been prosecuted. In this case, there is a doubt whether the perpetrators of government repression, violence and destruction in the Gen-G movement and demonstrations will be punished.

Although the report of the commission formed under the chairmanship of former judge Girish Chandra Lal, who has a comprehensive interest in the Nepal Electricity Authority's dedicated and trunk line dispute, was published in 2080, the implementation has not been accelerated. The commission said that the amount should be collected from July 072 to December 072, when the electricity tariff has not been determined.

In the case of the second period i.e. from 072 January to 075 Baisakh, according to the prescribed standards, the commission suggests that the days and periods of electricity supply should be determined and recalculated and the discount fee charged. In case of dedicated line, there should be continuous supply for 24 hours and in case of trunk line, there should be at least 20 hours of continuous power supply even in case of load shedding for 6 hours.

In case of the third period i.e. from May 075 to June 077, the commission has suggested that the arrears cannot be collected as the load shedding has ended. From January 072 to May 075, the arrears to be paid by the industry to the authority is 6 billion 600 million rupees. But since 60 days have been cut to pay the bill, the authority has been asking the industry to pay by adding 25 percent additional fee to it. 

Energy Minister Kulman Ghisingh has decided to collect dues of dedicated and trunk lines from industrialists. But when the dispute between former Prime Minister Oli and Energy Minister Deepak Khadka on this matter, Ghising was also dismissed as the executive head of the Authority. The same Ghising has now come to the responsibility of resolving the dispute.

Meterbank victims have been struggling for five years. In 2079, victims from all over the country staged a sit-in in Kathmandu. They returned home after the assurance that an inquiry commission under the coordination of the former president of the special court, Gauri Bahadur Karki, would be formed to solve the problem by reaching an agreement with the government. But the suffering of meterbadge victims is still the same.

The commission submitted a report with recommendations to the government after eight months of study. The commission received about 28,000 complaints and settled 5,000 complaints. The Ministry of Home Affairs says that the details mentioned in the report have been sent to the concerned district and a circular has been received from the police administration to solve the problem. However, the victims have been complaining that the district mechanism has refused to take the victim's complaint and proceed with the action process according to the revised law. The victims have been running from home to Kathmandu on foot to fulfill their demands.

From 2024 to 2081, more than a dozen suggestion committees have been formed for the reform of the cooperative sector. Some of his reports have been implemented in general. But the problem is you. The government has not been able to solve the problem of this sector for a long time due to the presence of powerful and accessible people in the co-operative fraud. This has caused the confusion of millions of savers. It is not clear when they will get their money back. Although the House of Representatives has passed the report and sent it to the government, it has not been implemented.

According to the Special Parliamentary Investigation Committee 2081 on Misuse of Cooperative Savings, formed under the coordination of the then MP Surya Thapa, 87 billion 89 crores of common people have been embezzled from only 40 cooperatives operating in the main city. 40 cooperatives, including 22 problematic ones and 18 publicly questioned, have a liability of 87.89 billion with a savings amount of 71.3 billion. However, it is mentioned in the report that interest to be raised on loans, investments made elsewhere and the basis for raising non-banking assets are weak. 

Parliamentary Special Committee has concluded that 655.4 million savings of five cooperatives were misappropriated in Gorkha Media Network. For this reason, action was recommended against the company's chairman Geetendrababu (GB) Rai, the then managing director Ravi Lamichhane and directors Chabilal Joshi and Kumar Ramtel.

In December last year, the government made a policy to regulate cooperatives and return money to savers through an ordinance. Accordingly, the Cooperative Development Board has been abolished and the Cooperative Regulation Authority has been established. A Co-operative Debt Recovery Tribunal has been formed. Even though the credit information center has been asked to keep information about loans provided by cooperatives, this work has not been done. A special provision was made for the return of savings in the amended Act through an Ordinance, but it has not been implemented. The government does not even have the data of how many small savers there are.

Since 2052, reports submitted by experts on the encroached lands including government and public land have not been implemented. The report of the commission led by former secretary Ram Bahadur Rawal, which was submitted to the Prime Minister for the protection of such lands, has been pending for 30 years, and the report of the commission of inquiry led by former judge Mohanaraman Bhattarai has been pending for 5 years.

The commission and inquiry committee formed by the government has not even made public the report that recommended action to be taken against encroached lands and embezzlers across the country including Kathmandu Valley. Experts say that this will lead to duplicity in the search for encroached and looted land, as well as increase the risk that the person recommended for action will remain outside the legal scope.  According to

sources, the commission led by former secretary Rawal submitted a report stating that around 1,860 acres of government-public land in Kathmandu Valley was encroached and embezzled and transferred to individuals. A list of land encroachers is also attached to the hidden report.

Oli Nettriv's government submitted a report to the government after taking about 20 months by the investigation commission formed under the leadership of former judge Bhattarai in June 2076. The Bhattarai Commission has recommended action against land encroachment and misappropriation of more than 500 bighas in various districts of the country including Kathmandu. This report is still secret. 

The Oli government issued circulars to district land reform offices on 2 May 2076 and 19 March 2076 to implement those reports. In June 2079, the Deuba-led government decided to implement the Bhattarai Commission report. However, the decisions of both governments have not been implemented. If the report is implemented, government-public land worth billions of rupees will be returned and the embezzlers will be prosecuted, according to the members of the commission.

Since 2046, the demand to investigate the assets of those in public service from high-ranking political leaders is still raised. In 2058, under the chairmanship of ex-judge Bhairav ​​Prasad Lamsal, the Acute Assets Judicial Inquiry Commission was formed and investigated. Although the report has been submitted to the government, the action process has not yet progressed.
