At a discussion program organized by the High Level Bagmati Civilization Integrated Development Committee on Wednesday, he further said he had requested top leaders of the big three parties frequently to support on removing fake landless squatters from the places, but he did not get the support as sought.



Home Minister Gachchhadar said he will remove the fake landless squatters at any expense, and warned he will rather settle other people in Tundikhel, if they did not support him for the same.



He said there should be no politics in development and called on all to work by rising above party lines.



The home minister also called on the top leaders of the big three parties to be serious for peace and constitution.



Similarly, Minister for Physical Planning and Works Hyridayesh Tripathi said that the government was committed to conserve the river banks in the Kathmandu Valley.



Chairman of the Committee Mahesh Basnet said there was a need of removing those living at the banks of Bagmati River in the name of landless squatters.
