HETAUDA: Authorities on Friday cleared encroached land belonging to the Natural Water Reservoir Fishery Promotion and Conservation Center in Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City-5.

With support from Nepal Police, the Armed Police Force (APF), and bulldozers, officials reclaimed around 1,352 square meter of government-owned land in the Kyampadanda area.

According to the Center, the operation was launched after encroachers ignored repeated notices and warnings to vacate the land voluntarily.

Security personnel and heavy equipment were then mobilized to remove unauthorized structures built on the property.

Officials confirmed that all illegal structures on the encroached land have been demolished and the area has been brought back under government control.
