Superseding structure removed

Magdi, 20 Feb: Structures built by encroaching on public land in various road areas of Beni have been removed. After traffic was affected on the road and the risk of accidents increased, the Beni municipality issued a public notice in November last asking the businessmen to remove temporary tents, shutters, tanks and thela. Ramesh Kumar Shrestha, Chairman of Ward No. 7, who is also the spokesperson of the Municipal Corporation, said that the rental agreement was not renewed and the unhealthy structure was removed by the businessmen themselves after the intensive urban and building division office started the road expansion plan.

“At that time, we asked to find an alternative without renewing the contract with the businessman who built a temporary structure on the public land by making an agreement with the then Arthunge Village,” he said. ” The 15 shutters and tanks in front of the district administration and municipal offices were demolished by the businessmen themselves and the goods and furniture were taken away. Darwang, who was doing fruit business in Thela, has moved to Bus Park.

City chief Surat KC said that it was removed due to traffic problems, risk of accidents and problems in market management due to increased traffic and disorderly structures on public land. Some of the businessmen who were removed had not even paid the rent for years for using public land. Earlier, on January 15th, the municipality had removed the ticket counter and restaurant of the transport company in order to make the Kali Pul bus park sloped. City chief KC said that the encroached and disorderly structures in other places of the market have also been cleared.
