KATHMANDU: Temporary accommodation has been arranged at five different locations for squatters displaced today as part of an eviction and relocation operation in the Kathmandu Valley. Informal settlements in areas such as Balkhu, Banshighat, Balaju, and Shankhamul were demolished during the drive.

The displaced families are being relocated to five designated sites: the Tewa Office in Dhapakhel (Lalitpur), the Electricity Training Center in Kharipati (Bhaktapur), the Agricultural Development Bank Training Center in Bode, the Water Supply Training Center in Nagarkot, and the Red Cross building in Banepa (Kavre).

Before being moved to these temporary shelters, the displaced individuals are being registered at Dasharath Stadium. So far, 72 people have voluntarily arrived at the stadium and completed their registration.

The registration process at the stadium is being conducted by a joint team comprising the Department of Urban Development and Building Construction, the Kathmandu Valley Development Authority, the High-Powered Committee for Integrated Development of the Bagmati Civilization, and the Kathmandu Metropolitan Police.
