The land allotment process has been affected as none of the seven local levels in Dadeldhura, except for Parshuram Municipality, has classified land use areas.
According to the Dadeldhura Survey Office, although the Land Use Act 2076 and the Land Use Regulations 2079 require all local levels to classify the land use of their areas and get it approved by the provincial and central governments, most municipalities in Dadeldhura have not completed the process, which has led to problems in land transactions.
According to the regulations, the plan prepared by the local level must be approved by the local land use council and sent to the central land use council through the provincial land use council. There is a provision that the classification will be valid at the district-based Land Revenue and Survey Office only after the center verifies it.
According to Devdutt Pandey, the head of the Dadeldhura Survey Office, although all seven municipalities in the district have started the work of classifying land use areas, the process is incomplete because, except for Parshuram, no municipality has classified it according to the plots.
According to Survey Officer Pandey, the land use plan of Parshuram Municipality has been approved and implemented by both the provincial and central governments. But the classification made by the other six municipalities has not yet been made according to the plots, so it has not been able to get legal status.
The government had given the local level the right to classify land by implementing the Land Use Regulations in 2079 BS. According to the regulations, it has been arranged that land cannot be divided into plots without classifying it. Service recipients have faced problems when the division of plots has been stopped.
Pandey says that there is a process where the local land use council makes an initial classification based on its needs and sends it to the center via the province. He said that although some municipalities have prepared and sent plans, the center has sent them back for improvement, according to the survey office.
In Dadeldhura, service recipients who come for division of plots daily are facing problems due to the lack of land use classification. According to the survey office, service recipients who have to keep a mortgage in the bank and buy and sell land have faced problems due to the lack of classification. According to the Land Use Regulations, land must be classified into 11 different groups, including agricultural, residential, industrial, tourism, religious, forest, and water resources.
The Survey Office has stated that it is ready to provide necessary assistance for land use classification. Pandey, the head of the Survey Office, said that although the classification process can be finalized quickly by collaborating with the Survey and Land Revenue Office, the municipalities have not paid enough attention.
Although the local level is required to classify the land use area by mid-Asad 2082 and inform the Land Revenue and Survey Office, Kamalapati Bhatta, the head of the Land Revenue Office, said that except for Parshuram Municipality, six other local levels have not classified the land use area. According to him, according to the act, before dividing any land, it must be determined for what purpose that area is for. There is a provision for the Land Revenue and Survey Office to approve the division only on the basis of that classification.
