NEPALGUNJ, August 29: Nepalgunj Sub-metropolis has started collecting the details of public and encroached lands.
Sub-metropolis Mayor Prashant Bista said that the occupied public land would be evacuated by issuing a 35-day notice. The purpose is to preserve the public property, he clarified.

"It is the responsibility of the local government to preserve public land," he said.
Mayor Bista further said that though data collection has started, it will take around three months to implement it. "The metropolis will carry out a study on the buildings constructed without design approval," he shared, adding, "As public land has been encroached upon at several places, we will come up with a mapping of the encroached land".
All-party consensus would be forged while addressing the issue without being influenced by anyone's force, sub-metropolis sources said.
The sub-metropolis did not have a holistic data on public land before.
