Existing Commission will address land-related issues: Minister Adhikari

 

Minister for Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation, Balaram Adhikari, has said the government is working in a way that the Commission formed now to address the land-related issues would be the final one.

While inaugurating a building for the Land Revenue and Survey Office at local Chabahil today, he said the Commission has been granted the authority now unlike the previous Commissions.

He said no fake landless people will be recognized as the landless people as in this digitalized age the status of land possession of anyone will be easily known with the online entry of the citizenship certificate.

Minister Adhikari urged the Office employees to not work against rules and procedures, warning an action in case of violation of rules.

The Land Management Minister said that land that was capped during the 2021 BS Land Reform Policy, has now been registered and it should be corrected.

He also urged the Office to ensure the archiving of the details of public land across the country.

He said the Office has been established to provide the land revenue and survey services from a single venue.

Secretary at the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperative and Poverty Alleviation, Arjun Prasad Pokhrel stressed that office employees should work with a new vision, advising them to protect the old data in a systematic way.
