The conflict between the National Land Commission and the Kathmandu Metropolitan City regarding the problem of homeless people in Kathmandu has started to surface.

After the National Land Commission issued a notice on Friday instructing the landless and homeless not to be removed from any location, the Kathmandu Metropolitan City countered the Commission and issued another notice.

Kathmandu Metropolitan has said that the Local Government Operation Act, 2074 assigns responsibility to the local level to maintain and protect government, community and public property within its geographical area and As this office is responsible for the protection of government, public and community property within the Kathmandu Metropolitan City area, any association, organization, body, group, person or any other person who harms, damages, destroys or encroaches on such property by any means or process, action will be taken according to the law.
