As many as 1,816 squatter families in the Kathmandu Valley have come into the contact with the government.
As of Sunday, only 1,816 families contacted the government after the government demolished illegal structures on the banks of the Bagmati River and its tributaries in the Kathmandu Valley.
A total of 7,789 citizens from 1,816 families have contacted the government so far, claiming to be squatters, in the course of vacating risky public and government land on the banks of the Bagmati River and its tributaries, according to the Secretariat of Prime Minister Balendra Shah (Balena).
Of those who have contacted, 794 have been transferred to holding centers managed by the government.
The rest of the people who came to the screening center at Dasharath Stadium have left, saying that they will arrange housing on their own initiative for now.
The government has been operating holding centers at the Radha Swami Satsangh Bhawan in Kirtipur, hotels in the New Bus Park and Machhapokhari area, the Nepal Electricity Authority Training Center in Bhaktapur, and the Agricultural Training Center in Bode to manage the squatters.
