Cabinet decision to give school land to Armed Police Force sparks controversy

A Cabinet decision to hand over the land of Purnamrit Bhawani Secondary School in Waling, Syangja, to the Armed Police Force (APF) has drawn controversy. The school has objected, saying the land acquisition process was moved ahead without its consent.

At its meeting on October 5, the Cabinet approved the acquisition of land at plot number 482 in Waling Municipality-8, which is owned by the school. The plot measures 29 ropani, 5 aana, 2 paisa and 1 dam. The Cabinet also directed that the process be taken forward.
