41 new municipalities recommend

RSS

Kathmandu, 9 July: The municipal areas fixation recommendation committee constituted by HMG submitted its report to Minister for Local Development Khum Bahadur Khadka at his office at the Ministry of Local Development today.

The committee has recommended declaring 41 new municipalities to cover the growing VDCs.
The recommended municipalities are Taplejung, Phidim, Birtamod, Urlabari, Myanglung, Bhojpur, Diktel, Katari, Mohanpur, Kalyanpur, Kanchanpur-Rupnagar, Ramangar-Mirchaiya, Dhanushadham, Sakhuwa-Mahendranagar, Nigaul-Gaushala and Manthali.

Likewise, Hariban, Chandranigahapur, Simara, Jitpur, Chautara, Panchkhal, Shankharapur, Karyabinayak, Champapur, Nilkantha, Lamjung, Khaireni, Dulegauda, Kushma, Beni, Tamghas and Sandhikharka have also been recommended to be declared municipalities.

Similarly, recommendation to declare municipalities have been made for Gaidakot, Sunbal, Bandipur, Pyuthan, Salyan, Kohalpur, Rajapur, Bajhang-Chainpur, Mangalsen, Sanfebagar and Chandannath.
Eighteen of the 41 VDCs recommended to be declared municipalities are the headquarters of the hilly districts. It is seen that there will be an additional 17 municipalities in the Terai/inner Terai while there will be 21 new municipalities in the hilly area and only two in the Himali region.

The committee has recommended Jorpati VDC to be made Ward No. 36 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City while Hemja VDC, Lamachaur VDC and Arba Bijaya VDC have been recommended to be made Ward Nos. 19, 20 and 21 respectively of Pokhara Sub-metropolitan City.

Likewise, the committee has recommended that the entire Sodiyar VDC of dang district be merged with Tribhuvannagar Municipality, the entire Haliwar VDC with Tulasipur Municipality, the entire Sonamati VDC with Lahan Municipality of Siraha district, the entire Chandragadhi VDC with Bhadrapur Municipality of Jhapa district, and the entire Debadaha, Shankarur and Semlar VDCs with Butwal to make it a sub-mteropolis.

The urban population will reach from 14 per cent as per the population census of 2058 to 19 per cent after the 41 new municipalities are declared, it is learnt.

The committee has made the recommendations on the basis of interaction with various institutions and persons and taking into consideration factors such as non-agricultural occupation, population density, electricity and water, roads, education, health, communications, industries, business, mobilisation of economic resources, district headquarters, and governmental and non-governmental programmes.

Proposals from 44 districts were received for 90 municipalities and the recommendation sub-committees constituted with chief district officers as the convenor had been constituted to make the recommendations on the basis of specified norms, it is learnt.

As there had been widespread differences in the populations of the wards, recommendations for minor changes have been made in the structure of Mechinagar, Ilam and Tikapur municipalities.
Receiving the report, Minister for Local Development Khadka said that the report will be sent to the election commission for approval and the Council of Ministers will take a decision in this regard.
He said that the committee had prepared the report in a neutral manner by rising above politics and hoped that everyone would accept it.

Committee convenor Prof. Dr. Surya Lal Amatya said that the government should announce the new municipalities in line with the belief that urbanisation is an indicator of development because the VDCs have not been able to function effectively.

Spokesman at the Ministry of Local Development Hari Prasad Rimal also expressed his views on the occasion.

Sriprasad Mahara was member and Surya Regmi member cum secretary of the committee constituted by HMG in May 2002 with professor Dr. Surya Lal Amatya as the convenor.
