Kathmandu Metropolitan City Orders 6 Cooperatives to Vacate Premises

Kathmandu. Kathmandu Metropolitan City has directed six cooperatives to vacate the houses, rooms, or flats they have rented within 15 days.

The Metropolitan Law and Human Rights Department issued a public notice on Thursday warning that if they do not come into contact within the stipulated time, the Metropolitan City itself will vacate the office.

The Metropolitan Judicial Committee had already decided that those cooperatives should vacate the places they had rented. To implement that decision, the meeting of the implementation committee held on Jestha 13 decided to issue a public notice with a deadline of 15 days.

The notice issued by the Metropolitan City states, 'The office bearers, employees, and members of the cooperatives mentioned in the details below should contact the Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Law and Human Rights Department within 15 days of the publication of this notice.'

If the directors, audit supervision committee, employees, or any member of the concerned cooperatives do not come into contact with the Metropolitan City within the stipulated 15 days, the house or room will be vacated as per the decision of the Judicial Committee. The Metropolitan City has clarified that after vacating the office, the cooperatives will not be able to claim any ownership of the property and belongings found there.

The cooperatives on the Metropolitan City's action list include Satkar Cooperative Society Limited in Ward No. 3 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Amritambh Savings and Credit Cooperative Society in Ward No. 15, and Hirakhushi Multipurpose Cooperative Society Limited in Ward No. 22.

Similarly, Margdarshan Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited, Naval Sabal Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited, and Pancharupa Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited, operating in Ward No. 32, have also been asked to vacate their offices.

According to the Metropolitan City's records, these cooperatives were operating their offices by renting houses from Nilu Gurung, Keshavraj Bhattarai, Yuvraj Pageni, Kalpana Sharma, Sharada Hada, and Krishnakumari Wade, respectively.

The Judicial Committee had issued decisions to vacate the offices of these cooperatives on various dates from Chaitra of last year to the first week of Jestha of this year.
