Kathmandu, Oct. 12
The
Kathmandu Valley Development Authority under the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD)
is going to take action to stop the misuse of public land and structures
including commercial buildings as well as housing in the valley.
For
this, the authority has given a deadline of one week and will go directly to
the punishment process in case of those who violate the land use and
construction rules, the KVDA said on Wednesday.
Under
this, strict action would be taken against commercial buildings, housing colonies,
apartments, educational institutions and health institutions that do not follow
the standards, or have not received approval or permission.
The
authority had issued a public notice on Monday, and ordered the concerned to
submit the documents including measurements and maps of public land and
structures within a week.
Through
a public notice, the KVDA has called on all commercial buildings, housing colonies
and apartments, educational institutions and health facilities in the Kathmandu
Valley to submit the documents including the measurements and maps of the land
and structures related to them by Sunday, October 16.
Januka
Dhakal, Development Commissioner of the Authority, informed that a measurement and
maps of the land and buildings related to the concerned users has been
requested to monitor the purpose for which public lands and buildings are being
used in the valley.
"The
authority has not been given any information about the purposes for which the
public lands and buildings of the valley are being used. So, we have requested for
the maps and necessary documents to understand how the land is being use and
who is using the public property," she said.
The
users of public lands and buildings have to submit the measurements and maps of
the land and buildings to Bhaktapur, Kathmandu and Lalitpur District
Commissioner's office by October 16.
Dhakal
said that action would be taken according to the law on those who do not
provide the required documents of public lands and buildings within the
specified date.
