Land Revenue Office Nepalgunj Establishes Records for Over 31,000 Destroyed Land Ownership Certificates
Summary
The Land Administration Office Nepalgunj has established records for 31,189 land ownership certificates destroyed in an arson attack during the Genji protests. Services resumed from a rented building, with officials saying record reconstruction is progressing rapidly and a citizen assistance desk has been set up.
Key Points
- The Land Administration Office Nepalgunj has rebuilt records for 31,189 destroyed land ownership certificates from Mangsir to Asar end 2083 BS.
- The office building and documents were burned during the Genji protests, forcing a two-month suspension of services before operations resumed from a rented office.
- Office chief Santosh BK said records from 2074 BS onward were digitized, while older cases take longer because mortgage status must be confirmed and notices published.
- A citizen assistance desk has been established to help service recipients and reduce the need for costly legal scribes.
