Maoist-affiliated All Nepal Peasants´ Union hoisted the party flag there on Wednesday after seizing the land. The land is registered in the name of 12 locals.
Amrit Nath, one of the land owners, said they bought the land some 26 years ago and have been producing crops. "The land would be flooded by Indrawati river during rainy season, but we produced crops in the winter," Amrit Nath said.
Just a few weeks back, Maoists had seized 402 ropanis of land in Kavre.
