Prime Minister Directs Security Chiefs to Clear Encroached Squatter Settlements This Weekend

Prime Minister Balendra Shah has instructed the heads of security agencies to clear encroached squatter settlements on the upcoming Saturday and Sunday. During a meeting with all security chiefs this evening, the Prime Minister emphasized that the eviction of these settlements should begin within the Kathmandu Valley.

Balendra Shah had attempted to remove squatter settlements during his tenure as mayor, but those efforts were unsuccessful due to opposition. Now, as Prime Minister, he has once again directed security agencies to take action against these encroachments and urged them to demonstrate promptness in carrying out the task.
