Birgunj (Parsa) – The Birgunj Metropolitan Office has requested that those who have been rendered completely landless due to the ongoing main road expansion and who do not own any land elsewhere in the country get in touch within the next 30 days.
The Division Road Office in Hetauda began demolishing houses and structures built by encroaching on the road from Gandak Chowk to Miteri Bridge in Birgunj from the 6th of Baisakh. On Friday, Sunil Kumar Karn, the head of the Metropolitan Administration and Management Division, issued a public notice urging those who will become landless due to the road expansion to contact the office with necessary documents within the next 30 days.
Following a meeting chaired by Chief District Officer Bhola Dahal on Thursday, the District Disaster Management Committee decided to initiate the process of collecting data to provide relief to the affected individuals. The metropolitan administration stated its intention to start this process.
Metropolitan Chief Rajeshman Singh mentioned that they would conduct a thorough investigation into the details submitted to them, and recommend to the federal government that relief be provided to the genuinely affected citizens.
Additionally, the District Administration Office has urged people not to conduct business in the demolished structures. Assistant Chief District Officer Binod Kumar Pokharel warned that allowing business operations in the damaged and risky structures could pose a danger to property owners, business operators, and the general public. Therefore, he requested that no business activities be carried out in such vulnerable structures.
