CPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda
Maoist chairman Prachanda has said that he has already directed his party machinery to facilitate the return of seized lands and properties.

Talking to reporters in Dang, Sunday, Prachanda said that the process of returning the seized properties will begin from Dang district.

“We have only asked the owners not to sell off these properties before the Constituent Assembly election and to provide around half the production (from the land) to the farmers who had been using it,” said Prachanda.

“This process will start from Dang and then will be implemented in Bardiya and Kailali districts,” he said.

In the peace agreement and the recent 23-point agreement, the Maoists had promised to return the seized properties. nepalnews.com sd Feb 03 08
