Kathmandu, May 12
The Nonresident Nepalis Association has demanded that the government become ready to pay due compensation if its investigation finds that a piece of land owned by the Association in Baluwatar of Kathmandu is proved to be public.
Making its position clear about the Baluwatar land scam, the NRNA says it bought the land following due procedures and the government must be responsible if the ownership was proved illegal.
The NRNA has recently built its office in the land, which has now been claimed to be a part of the government land that was illegally transferred to individual owners.
Organising a press conference in Sydney of Australia on Sunday, the NRNA President Bhaban Bhatta says, “If the government says it is wrong, it has to pay the compensation. How do you look at the property for which we have paid the revenues and received the ownership certificate?”
“Our building has been approved by the city government also.”
