The Chief Minister of Far West, Kamal Bahadur Shah, has warned that if the union government does not immediately give a decision about the state capital, it will be forced to find an alternative in the upcoming session of the state assembly.
Chief Minister Shah said that the union government is stuck on the question of the capital in the Far West in the provincial development problem solving committee meeting organized by the Provincial Policy and Planning Commission in Dhangadhi on Saturday. "Previously, I also made a written and oral request to Prime Minister Prachanda and other top leaders of the party to give an explanation about the capital. There was no hearing. Now I request again. If not, I will take an appropriate decision in the next session and proceed," he said.
In the first term of the Sudurpaschim Provincial Assembly, in the meeting on 12th August 2075, two-thirds of the decision was taken to construct the Godavari Municipality-4 Teghari Godavari in Kailali, the provincial capital of Far Paschim. But even after 6 years of the decision, the decision has not been implemented.
At that time, the Far West Province government had written to the Ministry of Forests and the Prime Minister's Office in the month of January 075 asking for the right of ownership of 444 bighas of Godavari area designated as the permanent capital of the province as determined by the Provincial Assembly.
While reminding that the jurisdiction to designate the capital lies with the Provincial Assembly, the provincial government wrote to the Ministry of Forests saying that out of 444 bighas, only the necessary land will be consumed and the rest of the forest protected. But the proposal of the state government was ignored by the union government. But the implementation process could not proceed as the federal government did not make any decision about the right of occupancy. The then Chief Minister Trilochan Bhatt said, "Since the Ministry of Forestry did not grant usufructuary rights, the implementation could not go ahead. We also sent all the documents from the four forts including the cargo ship and the surveyor's office. It got stuck after not making a decision.' He said that the file of land tenure is stuck in the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Forests.
A case was filed in the Supreme Court in 2007 against the decision to place the capital of Far West in Godavari, saying that the forest area would be destroyed. A case was filed in the Supreme Court against the decision of the Provincial Assembly regarding the designation of the capital in the forest area. Manish Kumar Shrestha and Devi Kumari Joshi filed a case in the Supreme Court saying that it was decided to establish the provincial capital by massaging the biological route.
Tikendra Prasad Joshi, Chief Attorney of the state government said that the case is still under consideration. According to him, after the preliminary arguments of both sides, the court gave an interim order not to stop the implementation of the decision. After that, there was no further debate on this issue. The then Chief Attorney Kulananda Upadhyay says that the case has been brought up many times so far. The court did not issue a stay order. In other words, it is not because of the case that there is an obstacle in the implementation of the capital. The problem is because they did not get the right of occupancy.'
