Land Ownership Woes Plague Residents in Rupandehi as Election Promises on Land Deeds Remain Unfulfilled

Butwal. In Ramnagar Chowk of Tilottama Municipality Ward No. 11, there is a two-story concrete house built on 8 dhur of land belonging to Lilambar Sapkota. Sapkota, 59, has been a resident here since 2060 BS.

Some time ago, he approached various banks to send his daughter to Japan, but he could not get a loan because he lacked a land ownership certificate (lalpurja). He managed by borrowing money. His two daughters are now in Japan.
