While assuming office today, I have made the first decision to collect the records of the land of the landless squatters, mismanaged settlements and the land the landless have occupied for shelter, and take their measurement, and then provide the land ownership certificate to them, said Mayor Rawat.

He said the development works which could not be completed during his first tenure would be finalized during his second term and that he would move ahead for the overall development of Ghodadhadi in consultation with the local intellectuals and political parties.

Rawat, who filed candidacy as a candidate of the CPN (Unified Socialist), was a common candidate for the post of Mayor of the ruling parties- Nepali Congress, CPN (Maoist Center), and CPN (Unified Socialist).
