Kathmandu, May 10: Chairperson of Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Rabi Lamichhane has said that citizens residing in disaster-prone areas will be relocated to safe zones and landless people will be provided with landownership certificate.
At a policy dialogue on disaster risk reduction and management organized by the RSP on Sunday, Lamichhane said that citizens affected by flooding and landslides have been managed with top priority.
“The government is safeguarding the rights of landless people at a very high speed,” he added, stating that shifting the citizens from the disaster-prone sites was the right decision. Lamichhane added that giving a political colour to the citizens’ sentiment was a wrong practice and urged that the ruling and opposition parties should not get divided to safeguard the citizens’ lives.
Meanwhile, Chairman of Ujyalo Nepal Party Kulman Ghising said that the issues of the landless and squatters should be resolved.
Addressing a gathering at Tempupark of Chandrapur Municipality-2 in Rautahat district on Sunday, Ghising asked the government to manage the citizens’ right to housing by addressing the concerns of squatters.
