Displaced people seek
compensation
Post Report
KATHMANDU, July 16: Minister for Home and Local
Development, Khum Bahadur Khadka, has assured a delegation of displaced people and police
officers from Bhalung, Dang to provide compensation for them as early as possible.
The government had decided to compensate these
people who were displaced from their residences located near the Armed Police Force (APF)
barrack at Bhalung due to security threats. The Nepal Journalists Association stated this
in a press release issued here today.
Despite the commitment of the government to
provide compensation, there has been no sign of help for the past three months. The 400
people in the area who live in 70 houses have been forced to resettle in the nearby
village.
The 6-member delegation led by the member of the
region Nityananda Sharma also appealed to the Minister to provide Rs. 6,600,000 as
compensation to the displaced people.
