Government will take responsibility for management of homeless: RSP Chair Lamichhane

Kathmandu: Chairperson of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), Rabi Lamichhane, has said that the government will take responsibility for the proper management of homeless citizens.

In the informal meeting of the RSP Parliamentary Party held today at Singha Durbar, he stated that the government will ensure that no one becomes homeless during the management of settlements in disaster high-risk areas.

“Repeated notices have been issued to squatters in risky areas to relocate them to safe locations in a smooth manner. There is concern about the safe dwelling of citizens forced to live near drains and flood-prone areas, and it is the government’s duty to be concerned about everyone’s future,” said RSP spokesperson Manish Jha, quoting Chairman Lamichhane.

Chairperson Lamichhane said that the problems related to squatter settlements across the country would be promptly addressed by forming a special commission.

“The government will not let any squatters be homeless; suggestions for necessary coordination are welcome, but unnecessary politicisation should be avoided. Forcing anyone to live at risk of floods and near sewers for ‘vote bank’ politics is wrong,” he added.
