Harisiddhi locals demand return of their lands acquired for Brick and Tiles Factory

25 February 2014

Locals of Harisiddhi village, around 8km south of Kathmandu,  have demanded that the Government return the lands acquired for Harisiddhi Brick and Tiles Factory as the lands are not being used for running the factory. They are knocking the doors of Supreme Court to get the lands returned as per Nepal’s existing laws and international human rights standards.

Around 700 ropanies of lands of local Newars was acquired at the rate of NRs. 1,500 per ropani for the establishment of the factory almost 50 years ago with assistance from China. Through an agreement in 1992 (2049 BS), management of the lands under the factory was handed over to Sundar Lal Bhawanani and Narsingh Bahadur Shrestha, after its machineries, buildings and other equipment were sold to them for meager amount of NRs. 220 million, without even informing the local agency and concerned stakeholders in the name of increasing the production and machineries of the factory.
