Squatters Flock to Register at Dasharath Stadium Amidst Evictions
Kathmandu. As the federal government and Kathmandu Metropolitan City have started demolishing squatter settlements by running bulldozers, squatters have begun registering their names. Since Saturday, locals from the squatter settlements have been registering their names with their citizenship at the Dasharath Stadium.
However, an interesting fact has emerged here: apart from those whose houses in the squatter settlements were bulldozed, other individuals claiming to be squatters have also arrived at the stadium to register their names.
"Some people have come claiming to be living in rented rooms in Kathmandu and owning no land or property elsewhere. We are in a situation where we cannot deny them now. So, we have registered their names," said an employee at the stadium.
According to him, since the identification and verification of genuine squatters will happen later, there is no immediate way to determine who is and who isn't, leading to more people than expected arriving at the stadium.
