Kathmandu, January 5

Kathmandu Valley Development Authority has initiated a campaign to search for public land alongside the Rudramati River. Acting on a tip-off about growing encroachment of public land along the banks of Rudramati River, the Authority came up with the campaign.

Administrative Officer of the development authority Subhash Chandra Aryal said a report was being prepared after mapping and surveying the encroached public land along the banks of Rudramati River based on a study of complaints being registered.

He said the report with mapping of the land encroached on both sides of the Rudramati River from Budhanilkantha to Buddhanagar would be finalised within two months.

After the finalisation of the report, efforts will be made to bring the intruded land for public consumption.

The development authority has been effortful in preserving public land and complying with the standards for the same.

The Authority informed that it had started the campaign to search for public land alongside the banks of Balkhu khola.

It has also come up with efforts to preserve public space alongside the rivers in Kathmandu.
