Land grabbers using squatters as their tools
Kathmandu, Feb. 13: The future of 13, 243 landless squatters belonging to 2,844 households within the capital valley seems to be uncertain as the government has not been able to come up with a specific plan for their resettlement.
The squatters, who identify themselves with 2,735 families in the areas like Bagmati, Bishnumati, Dhobikhola, Tukucha, Hanumante river bank and several other places are deprived of basic facilities and are also vulnerable due to possible natural calamities, stated a report unveiled Wednesday. The report was made public at a programme organised by Lumanti Support Group for Shelter, Lalitpur.
