The government has not been able to bring back the government/public land and physical structures that were previously given to trade unions affiliated with political parties by making a decision through the Council of Ministers. The government/public land and structures being used by such organizations have not been converted into 'lease' in accordance with the 'Government Land Registration, Utilization and Lease Policy-2079'. 

UML, Congress, CPN (then Maoist and Unified Socialist), JSP and other party-affiliated trade unions are conducting party and trade union activities by building structures on government land. Party-affiliated organizations have been given the right to occupy public property under the guise of 'access, influence and power'. 

The policy brought by the Council of Ministers on 23 Ashad 079 states that a 'lease' agreement should be signed with all organizations that have been using government land. The policy also states that a periodic fee should be collected for this and if not, the government itself will take back the land. The details of the land to be leased, terms of use, minimum starting price, cash deposit or bank guarantee of five percent of the bid amount, and at least 5 percent increase in the lease agreement amount in each fiscal year have also been specified. 

The policy was amended in April 2005 to include the federal, provincial, and local levels, and many issues related to leasing government land were added. In it, the lease agreement template was created and various conditions were specified. In the case of organizations that had been using the land for free in the past, a lease agreement had to be signed in accordance with the policy. But the government showed no interest in implementing the policy. 

The new Council of Ministers led by Balendra Shah has decided to dissolve the party-affiliated trade unions. However, the government has not yet come up with a clear blueprint on how the process of dissolving the party-affiliated trade unions and returning the land they are illegally using will proceed. Officials from the Ministry of Land Management say that the decision of the Council of Ministers will be implemented soon. 

The Nepal Civil Employees Union, close to the Congress, and the Nepal Madhesi Employees Union, close to the then LOSPA led by Mahantha Thakur, had been given 1 ropani each of government land near the forest complex in Babarmahal free of charge by the Council of Ministers on 4 Falgun 2068. The Madhesi Employees Union had built a building on the same land, and the LOSPA also lived in the same building. Trade union and party activities were carried out together in the structure built on government land, named 'Madhesh Bhavan'. Even after the last merger with the JSP, party activities are being carried out from there.

The UML-backed Nepal Civil Employees Organization is in a building built on government land in front of the Singha Durbar South Gate. The Council of Ministers on 22 Kartik 2068 had given one ropani of land free of charge to the UML-affiliated employee organization. Party-affiliated activities have been carried out by constructing a luxurious building on that land.

The office of the then Maoist-affiliated Nepal National Civil Servants Organization (now CPN) is being operated from a government building in Babarmahal. The land and building were given to the then Maoist-affiliated civil servants organization by a cabinet decision on 23 Baisakh 2068. The then Unified Socialist Party also opened the ‘Unified Government Employees Organization’ when it came to power and set up an office in the building department structure near Singha Durbar. The then Unified Socialist Party Secretary (now UML leader) Ram Kumari Jhankri, when she was the Urban Development Minister, had provided a government building to her party-affiliated civil servants organization to keep an office.

Apart from trade unions, parties and party-affiliated organizations are also occupying government/public land. The UML central office is on government land in Chyasal, Lalitpur. The institution, which was opened in memory of leftist leader Tulsilal Amatya, was granted the right to occupy 12 ropanis 6 annas 5 paisa 3 daam of land in Chyasal, Lalitpur by a cabinet meeting on 10 Chaitra 2058. The foundation, which built a building on the same land, has now let the UML run the party headquarters. 

The UML office moved to the foundation building in Chyasal on 9 Baisakh 2079. Although it was revealed at the time that there was a 'bilateral understanding' to use the foundation's structure for the party for 5 years at a monthly rent of 4 lakhs, both sides have kept this matter secret. According to the latest policy, the foundation was also supposed to lease the land in Chyasal from the government. But it has been leased to the UML without following the policy. 

The office of the Nepal Teachers Association, which is close to the Congress, is also on government land near the Pasanglhamu Foundation in Dhumbarahi. The association, which has built a physical structure on 1 ropani 10 anas of government land and rented out a restaurant on the ground floor, has been carrying out party activities above. 

Secretary of the Ministry of Land Management, Madan Bhujel, said that in the past, public notices were issued requesting organizations with occupancy rights to come on lease as per the policy, but most of them did not come. "Those organizations that did not come will now have to leave, and a decision will be taken accordingly after completing the necessary process," he said, adding, "There is no legal obstacle for the government to bring those structures under its ownership."
