Prime Minister Balendra Shah has said that preparations are underway to relocate the squatter communities living on the banks of the rivers in the Kathmandu Valley to a safer place. He said that the government is now moving towards a permanent solution, keeping in mind the risk of floods and humanitarian crises that have been recurring for years.
Stating that every year thousands of people living on the banks of the rivers have to flee their homes and belongings to save their lives due to floods, he said that it is not appropriate to continue such risky settlements. 'Are we still waiting for a major accident to happen? Are we playing with their lives and leaving them in the same situation and continuing the politics of rights and votes like this?' he said on social media.
He said that the risky settlements in Thapathali, Gairigaun, Manohara and other areas will be relocated in a humane manner without using force. 'On the one hand, this will minimize the human damage caused by floods, and on the other hand, it will also help improve the drainage system in Kathmandu,' he said.
He stated that the management of squatters is the priority of the government and said that it will be managed according to the policy by separating the actual squatters and the encroachers. He also reiterated his commitment to complete the process and distribute land to the actual squatters across the country as soon as possible.
He clarified that the points related to the management of squatters and control of encroachment on government land will be implemented under the government's 'must-do tasks within 100 days'. Prime Minister Shah has claimed that this government will provide a permanent solution to the squatter problem that has been pending for years and urged the citizens to be confident. 'This government will provide a permanent solution to this problem that has been going on for years. Be confident,' he said.
