“Stop urbanization in cultivable land”

Rampur, Palpa
Aswin 5, 2065
Rice fields are being converted into towns. Few brokers purchase the high yielding lands and sell by making it pieces for making houses. The District land preservation office has the record that about 3 hectares of land have been sold by chopping into pieces in the Rampur valley alone in the fiscal year 2064/2065. This is more than the double size to the last years.
Ram Bahadur Rana, whose house was on a high hill nearby the valley and a retired Indian army, has bought the land by paying 0.7 million for 0.45 Ropanis. He came here for services like transportation, good schools, and many more facilities.
Gobinda Tiwari, a business man in the valley, says its foolishness to sell the rice field and get few million rupees, done by few capitalists. “The nation must bring concrete planning to promote agricultural activities so that such irrigated and high yielding fields would not be occupied with concrete buildings” added he.
