Bhimduttanagar,24 Nov 2014: Forest encroachment in the Chure and Mahabharat area of Dadheldhura district has still not stopped in spite of government efforts to control it for last few years.
The locals still have the trend of encroaching forests and building permanent houses for the individual purposes in Bagbazaar and surrounding area after some organizations built public offices taking permission with the community forests, said Santosh Jairu, President of Nepal Dalits’ Association, Dadeldhura.
Meanwhile, District Forest Officer Krishna Bhatta said the District Forest Office was preparing the record of residential and forest area. It would take action against those who built the structures by encroaching on forest areas and has given a week-long ultimatum to remove the structures constructed around the district headquarters, said Bhatta.
