The District Administration Office, Kathmandu has issued a notice to acquire approximately 740,000 square meters of land for the 400 kV electricity transmission line project under the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) initiative.

According to the notice, the land to be acquired is located in the Nanglebhare and Lapsifedi areas of Kathmandu and includes both private and government-owned plots. Of the total land, around 16,000 square meters are privately owned, while the remaining area belongs to the Nepal Electricity Authority and the Government of Nepal.
