Another 242 families have been listed as unorganised settlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list was finalised after claims and objections were received and the applications were investigated and verified by the ward-level facilitation committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ward committee has endorsed the committee&#8217;s report and forwarded it to the metropolitan city with recommendations. The metropolitan executive is preparing to discuss the report and send its recommendation to the district committee this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayor Acharya said the relocation and management of the settlements in the bus park area could begin from next week, once the necessary procedures are completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the metropolitan city would coordinate with all concerned agencies to ensure the systematic relocation and proper management of the affected families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed bus park site at Prithvi Chowk, Pokhara Metropolitan City-9, was acquired in 2032 BS for construction of a modern bus park. However, the project could not move ahead for nearly five decades due to encroachment and other reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The metropolitan city has recently removed commercial shutters from the bus park area and plans to construct a well-equipped bus park with support from donor agencies after clearing and managing the existing settlements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The list was finalised after claims and objections were received and the applications were investigated and verified by the ward-level facilitation committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":434670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3,4,76,5],"tags":[],"reporter":[],"class_list":["post-434669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-en-cover","category-english","category-en-news","category-society","category-top-stories"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434669"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434669"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434669\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":434671,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434669\/revisions\/434671"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434669"},{"taxonomy":"reporter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radionepalonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reporter?post=434669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
