KATHMANDU: The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has initiated the demolition of houses and other structures that were built encroaching on public land in the Gaushala area of Kathmandu. This action began on Sunday morning, following a prior notice issued by KMC.

According to KMC Spokesperson Nabin Manandhar, the city had given a 10-day notice to remove these illegal structures. However, upon finding that the structures were still standing after the notice period, KMC proceeded with the demolitions.

The move is part of KMC's broader efforts to reclaim public land and ensure that areas designated for public use are not occupied unlawfully.
