Nepal, May 4 -- The Pokhara Metropolitan City (PMC) has issued a notice to remove structures built on land encroached upon that was originally allocated for a bus park in Prithvi Chowk, Pokhara.

Originally designated for this purpose fifty years ago, the land has drastically decreased from 205 ropani to 47 ropani due to a lack of proper management. At present, more than 400 families of landless squatters inhabit this area, resulting in persistent traffic congestion, as buses operate from the adjacent roadside instead of a designated bus park.

The PMC's recent decision follows a meeting of its executive body, during which a 35-day notice was issued for the removal of encroached structures.
