BAITADI, Jan 4: The district committees of the Land Problem Resolution Commission have reactivated their efforts. Ramesh Pandey, the Chairman of the District Committee, announced that activities at the district level resumed following the Supreme Court's annulment of the government's decision to disband the commission.
During a district committee meeting attended by District Coordination Committee Chief Khagendra Singh Dhami and Chief District Officer Punya Bikram Paudel, it was resolved to dispatch letters to municipalities requesting information on landless Dalits, landless squatter communities, and irregular settlers by February 8.
Sticking with New Year’s resolution
In line with this resolution, communication was established with all 10 local levels in the district, as reported by Binod Prasad Bhatt, Secretary of the Committee and Head of the Survey Office. The correspondence sent to the municipalities outlined tasks including the entry of applications gathered from all wards into the Commission's computer system, the formation of Ward and Local Level Facilitation Committees, the posting of notices regarding claims opposition as per established procedures, conducting necessary investigations and verifications of applications.
Similarly, publishing lists of applications that have not been verified as requested, identifying land that can be allocated according to regulations for landless Dalits and squatters, obtaining decisions from the executive, and supplying the district committee with information and verified decisions from both ward and executive levels concerning landless Dalits, landless squatters, and unorganized settlers are in progress.
