Information received concerning the alleged imminent threat of forced evictions and home demolitions without plans for adequate alternative housing in Thapathali informal settlement, along the banks of the Bagmati river, in Kathmandu, which could affect up to some 17,500 people (3,500 families), in the context of implementation of Bagmati River Basin Improvement Project and related projects, financed by the Asian Development Bank. These evictions are planned without the provision of any alternative adequate housing and would render many affected persons homeless, thus threatening their health and right to a life in dignity. Additional 2,000 families living in other informal settlements in Kathmandu may also be targeted for evictions in the future. This would be the second time that residents of Thapathali informal settlement would be subjected to forced evictions, after their homes were initially demolished in 2012.Alleged victims: 17501 More details... | |
