Ministry suggests local levels classify land

KATHMANDU: The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperative and Poverty Alleviation suggested that local governments classify land at the earliest possible time. The Ministry urged the local governments to classify land as sales and rights ownership of land has not taken place due to lack of classification. Ministry Secretary Damodar Regmi said that planned development will be expedited and citizens’ challenges will be resolved soon after the classification of land. The land revenue offices and survey offices have been cooperating with the local governments through technical expertise and others assistance. “Most of the issues and grievances will be resolved if the local governments classify the land sooner. The survey and land revenue offices have been directed to make technical assistance,” Regmi said. The Ministry has expressed the view that development of physical infrastructure has suffered while the road networks are mismanaged, and the cultivable lands are shrinking for delayed classification of land.
