Nepal: CSOs call for halt to Tamakoshi V Hydroelectric Project and end to repression of indigenous Tamang community

"Nepal: Stop State brutality against the Indigenous Tamangs and other Locals for the construction of Tamakoshi-Kathmandu 220/400 kV Transmission Line Project in Shankharapur, Kathmandu", 25 January 2023

the undersigned organizations and individuals, strongly condemn the ongoing repression by Nepal’s police and armed police forces on the indigenous Tamang and other locals in Bojheni village, Shankharapur municipality Ward no. 3 in the northeast of Kathmandu for the construction of Tamakoshi-Kathmandu 200/400 kV Transmission Line and its substation

...

Around 500 affected households of Indigenous Tamang and other affected locals of the area have opposed the construction of the substation and the transmission line in Bojheni since 2015. On1stJanuary 2023, when the Nepal Electricity Authorities (NEA) forcefully initiated a survey of the land to install a substation and transmission lines that are financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the community protested. The protests have continued for more than a week.

...

During the protest, at least seven protestors (including women and a minor) have been arrested. Further, the police threatened the protestors at gunpoint and manhandled the Ward Chair, women and other protestors causing injuries to at least a dozen people.

...

The Indigenous and local communities in Bojheni village of Shankharapur municipality were not informed about the Project and no consultation was held with the communities. The authorities began implementing the project by acquiring communities’ lands through threats and intimidations.

...

the local government is not aware of the ongoing survey process of the Project and no permission was taken from the local government in violation of legal provisions of Nepal.
