Photo · english.makalukhabar.com

CPN-UML lawmaker Guru Baral criticized the government's decision to displace squatters without adequate rehabilitation, calling it inhumane and poorly planned. He argued that the provided financial assistance of Rs 25,000 is insufficient for survival, especially in the Kathmandu Valley, and that families are facing poor living conditions in temporary holding centers.

  • Lawmaker Guru Baral stated that the government's decision to provide Rs 15,000 for three months (May, June, July) for a family of five amounts to approximately Rs 100 per person per day.
  • Baral expressed concerns about the health and safety of vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, children, and students, who are reportedly facing malnutrition and educational disruption.
  • He urged the government to focus on sustainable housing solutions and dignified, long-term resettlement arrangements rather than temporary financial aid.
  • The lawmaker alleged that displaced people faced inhumane treatment inside holding centers established for temporary shelter.
