The United National Slum Front, Nepal has expressed serious concern over the government's decision to evict unorganized and squatter settlements in Kathmandu. The front issued a statement on Friday, objecting to the recent news that preparations are being made through security agencies to evict squatter settlements, stating that such a move would be unconstitutional and inhumane. The statement stated that the attempt to evict landless, squatter and unorganized settlement citizens who have been living there for a long time without alternative arrangements would be a violation of human rights. The front has demanded the government to immediately reconsider the decision, saying that women, children, the elderly and the disabled will be especially affected. The statement issued by the general secretary of the front, Arjun Kunwar, claimed that such a move by the current government led by the National Independent Party is against the constitution and the fundamental rights of the citizens. The front has emphasized that the work of managing landless Dalits, squatters and unorganized settlements should be taken forward as per the decision of the Government of Nepal on Chaitra 13, 2072. In addition, the problem-solving process through the National Land Commission has been demanded to be expedited.
The front has demanded that the notice of forced eviction be withdrawn immediately, the work process of the National Land Problem Resolution Commission should be immediately implemented and the work of registration, verification and management should be increased, the process should be adopted and taken forward according to point 91 of the government's 100-day agenda, and the constitutional rights of citizens to land and housing rights should be ensured.
