The government has officially brought 112 ropanis of land located in Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward 4 under its name by acting on the 1995 Rawal Commission report.
Government Reclaims Public Land
The Land Administration Office in Dilli Bazar has successfully transferred 112 ropanis of land to the Nepal government. This land was identified as public property in the report submitted by the High-Level Commission for the Investigation and Protection of Government and Public Land, famously known as the Rawal Commission, back in the year 2052 B.S.
Implementation Process
The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation formed a special committee to finally implement these old recommendations. This committee is actively working to separate encroached public lands from private plots and register them back to the government. The office have been following the procedure to ensure that all land marked as public is returned to the state authority.
Committee Composition
A committee led by Chief Survey Officer Ramesh Gyawali is currently handling this project. The team includes various officials such as deputy secretaries from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport. Other members include heads of land administration and survey offices, the head of the local level coordination branch, and officials from the Department of Land Management and Archive.
Background of the Rawal Commission
The Rawal Commission was formed in 2052 B.S. to study the status of public and government lands across the country. After a detailed study, the commission suggested ways to protect lands that were illegally occupied or registered under individual names. Although it took a long time, the government is now finally moving ahead to bring these recommendations into action by investigating and securing public land ownership.
