KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 27
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has stated that the government is actively working to address the issues faced by landless squatters within the next few days.
The Prime Minister mentioned that necessary decisions would be taken to provide land plots to the squatters and landless individuals in an efficient manner.
While inaugurating the CPN (Maoist Centre) website at the party's central office in Paris Danda on Monday, Prime Minister Dahal shared that the council of ministers has decided to amend relevant laws to address the challenges faced by landless individuals and squatters.
"The act will be amended to resolve the difficulties faced by squatters and those in unmanaged residences. The Forest Act of 2029 is hindering development," added the Prime Minister.
Expressing his perspective, the PM noted that the cabinet meeting on Sunday decided to amend these obstacles, which prioritized interests other than those of the people and developmental issues. Following the amendment to the Act, the process for development works and the distribution of land ownership certificates would be expedited, according to PM Dahal.
During the event, PM Dahal emphasized that the party could gain more popularity among the people through the appropriate use of information technology. He mentioned that the government was making sincere efforts to work for the welfare of the people and the country.
This includes resolving issues faced by usury victims, positive interventions in social security, holding land brokers accountable, and prosecuting scammers involved in fake Bhutanese refugee schemes.
In a separate context, the PM stated that his government has worked earnestly to strengthen national identity. He highlighted that his visits to India, China, the USA, and Italy were fruitful in achieving this goal.
Furthermore, the PM announced his intent to raise the issue of noncompliance with developed assistance by developed countries to climate-vulnerable nations in COP-28.
On the same occasion, Minister for Communications and Information Technology Rekha Sharma emphasized that the country could achieve prosperity through the optimal use of technology.
She added that the government recently unveiled guidelines on the use of social sites, as some social networking sites pose a threat to our social harmony."
