Kathmandu- Supreme Court (SC) has ordered government to dismantle all illegal infrastructures and cancel illegal registration of Phewa Lake.
Responding to a writ petition filed by Advocate Khagendra Subedi a joint bench of justice Om Prakash Mishra and Sapana Pradhan Malla ordered government to implement the recommendations made by Bishwa Prakash Lamichhane-led commission’s report.
The commission formed by Baburam Bhattarai-led government in 2011 had reported that registration of 3341 ropanis around the lake was illegal and that should be cancelled. “Let’s implement the report prepared by a study committee led by Bishwaprakash Lamichhane,” the bench said. The Committee recommended Fewa Lake as a national heritage and setting up a Development Authority for its protections.
