Four hundred and twenty-one families in Madhyapur Thimi Municipality of Bhaktapur have received their land ownership certificates four years after the land survey was completed.
The Land Problem Resolution Committee has distributed the land ownership certificates to 421 families living in Madhyapur Thimi Municipality-8. This distribution was completed after finishing all the necessary legal processes for the Gaun Block (self-settled) lands, which fall under the former Nilbarahi Village Development Committee (VDC).
The measurement and survey of these lands was completed in the fiscal year 2078/79. These lands are located in wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the former Nilbarahi VDC. Locally, people know this area as ‘Bode Gaun’, which is a very old Newari settlement.
Even though the land mapping was finished years ago, the distribution process was stopped for a long time. The main reason for this delay was very low participation from the local people in doing the registration work. Now, after the remaining administrative works of the surveyed lands are completed, the committee finally distributed 421 ownership certificates to the residents.
With these certificates, the 421 families who have been living as self-settlers since a very long time has finally got formal legal ownership of their lands.
