Pokhara in western Nepal has started removing and
prohibiting any construction of buildings within 65m from Fewa Lake, as a step
to conserve the lake from the negative impact of land encroachment. According
to a local of Baidam of Kaski district, people residing along the banks of the
lake are affected as they need the land to support their livelihood. The
Western Regional Administrator stated that people affected by the policy that
possess land ownership certificates, are to be compensated for the land.
