The CPN-UML has urged the government to show respect to the constitutionally-guaranteed fundamental rights and basic values of humanity while evacuating squatters' settlements. 

The party made a plea to demonstrate respectful treatment to the disadvantaged and squatters' community, adhering to the principles of social justice and basic values of international human rights. 

In a release issued by UML central publicity coordinator Min Bahadur Shahi today, he said coercive removal would in no way be a sustainable solution. 

It is the prime responsibility of the government to hold pre consultation with the affected persons and families, assure alternative residence, arrange compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation and protect the sensitive groups such as children, women, senior citizens and people with disabilities, the release stated.
