Kathmandu: The government has called upon meter badge victims across the country to register their complaints by Bhadra 5. The victim has been called upon to register a complaint with the district administration office to prevent the spread of the meter-busting network.
The coordinator of the working group for the control of crime related to meter badges formed by the government. Bhishma Kumar Bhusal has said that the complaint has been called because the news of the distress of hundreds of families has been published due to the series of exploitation of the illiterate, poor, and economically disadvantaged people.
“The process of bringing financial criminals under the law and punishing them is also going on, but still many victims have not been able to publicize their pain or take the initiative for legal treatment.”
Dr. In a statement issued by Bhishma Kumar Bhusal, it is said, ‘A task force has been formed to recommend measures to control meter-bagging crime by taking the initiative of the Honorable Prime Minister on the decision dated 04.27.2079.
Within an hour of the formation of the task force, the task force also held talks with the Kisan Labor Struggle Committee against Meter Interest and Fraud, organized by Pratappur and Susta Rural Municipality of Nawalparasi West, and held a sit-in in the Maitighar Mandla area of Kathmandu, in the presence of the District Administration Office and the Chief District Officer of Kathmandu.
Bhusal said that although the complaints were received not only in Nawalparasi but also in most of the districts of Terai, taking into consideration the situation that the net of meter-bagging may have spread across the country, a notice has been issued to the people who are victims of meter-bagging to register complaints against the crimes and exploitation by such meter-bagging.
The victims are demanding that the land of the farmers-laborers who were made landless, the overcharged money should be returned, and the farmers who died due to the continuous mental harassment of the meter-lenders should be investigated and compensation should be provided.
The government formed a task force to address their demands after the meter bagging victims continued to struggle. Dinesh Acharya, Senior Superintendent of the Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police, Mr. Krishna Paudel, Deputy Secretary of Law, Ministry of Home Affairs, Krishna Prasad Koirala, Superintendent of Crime Investigation Branch of Nepal Police, Mukund Maratha, Deputy Director of Investigation, National Investigation Department are in the task force.
