The Kathmandu Valley Development Authority under the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) is going to take action to stop the misuse of public land and structures including commercial buildings as well as housing in the valley.
For this, the authority has given a deadline of one week and will go directly to the punishment process in case of those who violate the land use and construction rules, the KVDA said on Wednesday.
Under this, strict action would be taken against commercial buildings, housing colonies, apartments, educational institutions and health institutions that do not follow the standards, or have not received approval or permission.
The authority had issued a public notice on Monday, and ordered the concerned to submit the documents including measurements and maps of public land and structures within a week.
Through a public notice, the KVDA has called on all commercial buildings, housing colonies and apartments, educational institutions and health facilities in the Kathmandu Valley to submit the documents including the measurements and maps of the land and structures related to them by Sunday, October 16.
Januka Dhakal, Development Commissioner of the Authority, informed that a measurement and maps of the land and buildings related to the concerned users has been requested to monitor the purpose for which public lands and buildings are being used in the valley.
“The authority has not been given any information about the purposes for which the public lands and buildings of the valley are being used. So, we have requested for the maps and necessary documents to understand how the land is being use and who is using the public property,” she said.
The users of public lands and buildings have to submit the measurements and maps of the land and buildings to Bhaktapur, Kathmandu and Lalitpur District Commissioner’s office by October 16.
Dhakal said that action would be taken according to the law on those who do not provide the required documents of public lands and buildings within the specified date. (Source : TRN)
