The government has resumed digital verification of displaced squatters living outside the holding center.
Earlier, only initial registration was done at the Dasharath Stadium, so now data collection has been started for detailed details, informed Anand Singh Bhat, working committee chairman of the empowered Bagmati Civilization Integrated Development Committee.
The committee had earlier taken digital verification of 1,488 people dependent on the holding center out of 2,608 displaced families. “This is not the registration of any new people, but only the re-registration of those who were already registered but living outside the holding center,” Bhat said.
The government had initially decided to provide a lump sum of Rs 25,000 as relief to the unorganized settlers who were verified and found eligible. In addition, they were told that they would receive rent for three months at the rate of Rs 15,000 per month until they settle their settlements. But the work of distributing relief has not yet begun.
However, the government has already decided on this and the necessary amount is being released, Bhat said. Those staying in the holding center will probably receive the relief money within the next 8-10 days, Bhat said, “After that, those who are currently living outside and those who are found eligible by the committee will receive relief.”
The government has also formed a new committee to conduct a detailed investigation into the case of squatters or unorganized settlers and work on future options. He said that after a detailed investigation of the data by the agencies under the Ministry of Land Management, work will proceed as per the government’s plan regarding the facilities they will receive.
