KATHMANDU: The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, Federal Affairs and General Administration has issued a directive ordering civil service trade unions and organizations to vacate all buildings and structures built and utilized on government land within three days.

According to the ministry, following the government’s decision to scrap provisions regarding civil service trade unions, the legal basis has ended for buildings and other structures constructed on government-owned land by several organizations that previously operated as national-level trade unions.

Consequently, the registrations of these trade unions have already been canceled by a Cabinet decision and the Department of Labor and Occupational Safety.

As per the notice issued by the ministry, the concerned organizations must completely vacate the buildings and other structures within three days from the date of the notice’s publication.

They are required to hand over all relevant documents, property responsibilities, and building keys to the ministry’s Internal Management Division.

The ministry has warned that if the structures are not vacated within the specified deadline, necessary legal proceedings will be initiated under prevailing laws.

Furthermore, the ministry stated that the notice has also been pasted on the buildings of the respective organizations in the presence of the District Administration Office.

The notice specifically orders the vacation of structures currently being used by organizations including the Swatantra Rastrasewak Karmachari Sangathan, Nepal Madhesi Nijamati Karmachari Manch, Nepal Nijamati Karmachari Sangathan, Nepal Nijamati Karmachari Union, Nepal Rastriya Nijamati Karmachari Sangathan, Ekikrit Sarkari Karmachari Sangathan Nepal, Nepal Swasthyakarmi Sangh, and Madhesi Swasthyakarmi Forum Nepal, among others.
