Inspector General Karki Expresses Gratitude for Land Ownership Retention of Police Training Academy

April 24, Kathmandu – Inspector General of Police Dan Bahadur Karki has expressed gratitude towards the government for the decision to retain ownership of the land of the National Police Training Academy under the academy’s possession. On September 6, 2018, the Cabinet had decided to transfer the academy’s 114 ropani 3 anna land to the President’s Office. However, the Cabinet meeting on Thursday reversed this decision, opting not to hand over the Police Academy land near Sheetal Niwas in Maharajgunj to the President’s Office.

Through a post on social media on Friday, Inspector General Karki described this decision as a highly significant and historic achievement for the Nepal Police organization. On April 23, the government agreed to restore ownership of the 114 ropani 3 anna land back to the police academy. “This decision by the Government of Nepal is an extremely important and historic achievement for the Nepal Police organization,” IGP Karki wrote on Facebook, “It is believed that this decision will have a far-reaching positive impact on the institutional strengthening of Nepal Police, the development of long-term physical infrastructure, and enhancement of professional capacity.” He further expressed hope that the Nepal Police will continue to receive ongoing support and guidance from the government for institutional consolidation, professional development, morale boosting, and delivering effective services in the future.
