Janasewa Secondary School Involved in Illegal Land Transactions

Biratnagar. Janasewa Secondary School in Kanepokhari Rural Municipality-6 (formerly Bairban-8) of Morang has been found to have sold and transferred the ownership of private land using its own letterhead. The authority to sell and transfer land belongs to the Land Reform and Land Revenue Office. However, it has been found that the school itself has been carrying out land revenue work, and that too, by selling private land using the school's letterhead.

The land in question is in the name of 62-year-old Rohitram Phuyal. Phuyal still possesses the land's title deed. He continues to pay taxes to the government, but 14 kattha 3 dhur of his registered land is occupied by 14 families who have built houses on it. Those families have documents prepared by the school regarding land ownership.
