July 3, Kathmandu-The Kathmandu Metropolitan City has decided to put a fence on about 143 ropani land in the Lalita Niwas area and remove the temporary or unauthorized structures built on the land.

As it is the responsibility of the metropolis to protect the government property, the metropolis has prepared to put a fence on the government land in Lalitaniwas area, said Rajunath Pandey, the city police chief.

Under the leadership of Rajunath Pandey, the city police reached the area and ordered the removal of the old temporary structures built on the government land as it was found that people had built shelters in some places. The metropolis has said that the map details have been requested from the Surveyors and Lands Office to determine the government and private land and that they will protect the government land by putting up a fence to separate the government and private land and that no building or any structure will be allowed to be built on that land.

The metropolis has given a 24-hour verbal ultimatum to remove temporary or unauthorized structures built on government land.
