Recently, you have publicized your views on the subject of the land ordinance issued by the government through social media.

You have passed an ordinance to give not only the river, but also the Tundikhel, open platform to your workers. Congratulations to the workers in the government. Your comment has deeply hurt the hearts of thousands of landless citizens who have been waiting for social justice for decades. We did not even imagine the opposition to this extent from the mayor of the capital city of Kathmandu, who was supposed to be an example. We feel humiliated. What is the landless problem? What are the underlying causes of landlessness? What are the sufferings of landless citizens? Such a comment would not have come had your understanding of this not been so thin and superficial.

I belong to landless Majhi community. We have been living on the banks of Narayani River for generations. Enjoying the nature here, we were using the riverbed and the forest. Before the survey of the year 2034, the land here was not even registered in anyone's name. Bhog was the prime evidence. We could not register the land due to lack of awareness about the importance of survey, no one's citizenship at the time of survey, no money to pay the survey, why someone had to pay taxes, because the landlord cheated. This is the ground reality. In the land we live and cultivate, the intermediate zone is designated only in 2054. My father, grandfather were all born here. We are tribals of Majhi, Musahar and Bote communities here. Here is our house. There is a farm that is protected from wild animals and produces little by little. We have been demanding that this land should be registered in our name for many years. Because the lack of land registration made it difficult for us to get other basic rights.

The park administration is suffering when the government starts registering the land. Parks have no right to land in the intervening zone. We have nothing before Shakti. Hearing that the government has made legal arrangements to solve this problem gives us some hope. It seems that the Land Ordinance will clear the blocked way in solving the problem of the landless. It will solve the problem of the victims like us. Since time immemorial, the people of Chitwan in Narayani river have no ownership of land, even when the people of Chitwan were settled in Nawalpur and the people of Nawalpur were moved to Chitwan. You should have spoken for our justice by questioning the state as to why you could not have land in your possession even though many generations have passed by loving your country and making a living through river-based work. Perhaps you can never feel and understand how the livelihood of the landless is going? Even more so, the plight and suffering of the landless living within the park and forest areas is immense. We will be grateful if you come to observe the settlements of landless squatters and squatters and understand the ground reality of the problem. It is not at all appropriate to sit in the capital and spread sensationalism by creating a superficial comment about the thousands/millions of victimized families in Kunakandara. It is felt that the expressions of the youth would have been realistic and evidence-based if there were people like you who could be established in national politics.

According to a statistic, 88.4 percent of Musahar, Majhi do not have their own land. Therefore, this caste or community is forced to live outside the village/community on Ailani land. It is the obligation of us Majhi, Mushars to make straw huts near the Masanghat, ponds, ditches or canals, river banks or narrow roads. After being bound by the laws and laws that came later, some of us have become forest victims and some have become forest victims.

The park, born in the year 2029, has not allowed those who were born and living long before him to get the ownership of the land, let alone measure it. When the current government is trying to solve this problem once and for all, without understanding the people's problem, such a superficial comment has certainly not increased the respect of the mayor. So don't feel more injustice and disrespect to lakhs of landless people by making a light comment to express hatred and anger towards a party or a certain person.
