18 Chait, Jakpurdham. Most of the Guthi land is in Janakpurdham market area. There have been many encroachments on the public lands of guthis, temples and kuttis. The remaining land is also under the threat of encroachment.

The remaining public land in Janakpurdham has not been protected and promoted. Neither has it been possible to return the encroached land of thousands of bighas.

Two decades ago, the government prepared a report to investigate the encroachment of Guthi, Math-Temple and Public Pool in Janakpurdham, but it has not been implemented.

A high-level office was formed by the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation on 26 July 2062 under the coordination of Bhojraj Ghimire under the direction of the government of the then King.

According to the report of the constituted working group, it was concluded that 9 thousand 846 bighas and 12 kattas of 25 guthis land in Janakpurdham were encroached upon. Which is worth billions. This land has been privatized according to the conclusion of the committee formed at that time.

If the report is not implemented, along with Guthi, Janaki Mandir and Janaki Mandir, religious and historical public ponds will also disappear.

According to the report, five out of the 49 ponds within the city area have completely disappeared, while about 32.8 percent of the total 82 ponds have lost their existence. Buildings have been constructed by filling several ponds.

It is mentioned in the report that even the land in the name of Janaki temple has been sold illegally. It is mentioned in the report that the mahanths of the temple have sold various lots at low prices.

In the introduction of the report, Ghimire, the coordinator of the working group, had expressed the expectation that the report of the working group would be embodied in time in the report submitted to the government on 10th January 2062.

As the suggestions given in this report are timely, they may change over time. Therefore, if the implementation does not happen simultaneously, the importance of the suggestions may have changed over time,’ Ghimire wrote in the introduction of the report.

He further wrote, ‘Therefore, I am confident that the government of Shri 5 will take the initiative in the direction of implementing the recommendations of the report as soon as possible by forming a working group and embodying the rationale of the report.’

In the report, he believed that Janakpur will be clean, tidy and a model city within the next 10 years if the program is implemented by investing in the religious tourism development program as proposed to the local sources.

However, even though two decades have passed since the end of the monarchy and the introduction of democracy and republic in the country, the Bhojraj report has not yet been implemented. So far in Pajakpur, it has not been possible to free encroached huts and public lands, ponds, pots and pans and bring the trespassers to justice.

Citizens are disappointed because the government has not implemented the report so far, while the encroaching land mafia and temple and kutti mahanths are angry.

Advocate Rahul Jha Jakpurdham says that he had to witness the country’s biggest land scam.

Janakpur has witnessed the country’s biggest land scam. Where about 9 thousand bigha land is encroached, he said.

Two years ago, the then Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane had said that he would take the initiative on Guthi’s land. Jha demands that the government should play a role in ensuring the protection and protection of such encroached lands as the government of RSVP has now been formed.
