POKHARA, APRIL 5 Pokhara Metropolitan City has demolished 32 structures built on encroached land along Phewa Lake. The demolition, carried out with support from Nepal Police, targeted illegal huts and properties from Sedi to Khapaudi, in line with a Supreme Court directive. Authorities said the action follows earlier demarcation within 65 metres of the lake and aligns with the government's policy to clear encroachments within three months.
