The Kathmandu Metropolitan City has decided to continue its work, despite a temporary order issued by the Patan High Court not to demolish the structures built by encroaching the Tukucha River.
Saying that the court has issued the order only for three houses, the Kathmandu Metropolitan City said that there will be no obstacle in demolishing other structures.
Bhola Bikram Thapa on behalf of the President Travels and Tours filed a writ at the Patan High Court after the Kathmandu Metropolitan City started a dozer campaign to search for the missing Tukucha River.
Responding to the writ, a single bench of Justice Dipendra Bahadur Bam issued a temporary order on Sunday.
The court has ordered the Kathmandu Metropolitan City not to demolish the structures built on the land registered in the name of Nepal Investment Bank, Uttar Man Lama, and President Travels and Tours within that time.
