Chairman Nepal criticized the court's ruling, asserting that it infringes upon the constitutional rights of individuals regarding their private property. The Supreme Court's order, which prohibits construction within a 40-meter zone along Kathmandu’s riverbanks, has been met with significant disapproval from the party.
