SALYAN, Jan 19: The peoples´ governments formed by the Maoists during the conflict period are found to have passed some 5,000 land ownership deals in Salyan district alone.



The all-party mechanism coordinated by Maoist Secretary Tikaram Wali had sent the records passed by the Maoist people´s governments in the district to the Land Reform Ministry through the District Land Revenue Office one year ago. [break]



Oli said works could not be moved forward as no meeting of the mechanism was held even if it was said to be managed through all-party discussion after collection of details.



Although many have taken land ownership certificates from the Land Revenue Office with the restoration of peace, the Maoists, however, said less than 30 percent have taken them.



Most have agreed to the actions of the peoples´ governments, but some dishonest people only came to the Land Revenue Office to pass the land, said Oli.



They have the record of the land ownerships given by us and we too have some photocopy, he said.



Although a task force was formed, it could not work, said Task Force Member of CPN-UML Gyaneswor KC. No meetings of the task force were held.



Oli warned if the legal recognition of the deal is not implemented, the farmers will rebel.



Most of such lands are in Bafukhola, Shivarath and Bame VDCs as they were Maoist base areas during the conflict.



"We had passed the lands to give relief to the people during people´s war. We are waiting for the implementation of the government decision to recognize them", Oli said.
