It is estimated by the committee members that the king and his family owned some 75,000 ropanis of land throughout the country in different forms. Earlier, the committee had made public that the king owned 35,000 ropanis of lands. Minister Chaudhary had earlier said that the government was planning to draft a new law limiting the royal holdings. The minister also said that the king's land would be distributed among the poor farmers and landless people as per the existing law. A Nepali citizen can own 11 bighas of land according to the prevalent law.
