Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

January 2: A struggle committee formed to protest against the unfair compensation provided by the government for the land acquired to build the Nepal-China Industrial Friendly Park in Jhapa has submitted a memorandum to the Province 1 government.    

Stating that the distribution of compensation was not fair and was not determined through scientific means, Damak Industrial Park Struggle Committee reached the Chief Minister's office at Biratnagar and submitted the memo to CM Rajendra Rai to address their demand.    

Coordinator of the Struggle Committee, Khagendra Bhattarai shared that they drew the attention of CM Rai about the real problems of the people displaced by the industrial park along with the demands of the victims.    

Receiving the memo, CM Rai expressed commitment to take this matter to higher authorities in order to address their concerns. The Nepal-China Friendship Industrial Park was proposed to be constructed in around 2,500 bighas of land in a tri-junction of Damak Municipality, Kamal Rural Municipality and Gauradaha Municipality of Jhapa district with an investment of around Rs 65 billion from the Chinese government under the 'One Belt One Road' initiative.    

Locals affected by the industrial park have expressed their discontent and subsequently launched agitation by forming a struggle committee. (With inputs from RSS)
