Lamahi, Dang – 25 June 2025

Twenty‑three landless families in Lamahi Municipality Ward No 3, Kanchhi Tole received land ownership certificates. The certificates were distributed in a ceremony organised by Lamahi Municipality together with the Dang District Land Issues Resolving Commission Committee and other stakeholders.

For generations, these families have lived and operated on land under informal tenure without formal land ownership certificates. Ram Prasad Chaudhary (52) recalls when his family was relocated to this once forest area at the age of seven in 1988 AD. “My parents worked very hard to build a small hut here” he said. “We always lived under constant threat of forced eviction at any time. Now, with this certificate in hand, we can finally live with peace of mind and with the dignity of being landowners.
