The sub metropolitan has also started issuing Land Ownership Documents after measuring the land which had temporarily  stopped due to the election. Bageshwar Dutt Ojha, head of the land management branch of Dhangadhi sub-metropolitan city, said that they are preparing to resume the work of land surveying. He said, "After the result of the vote, the work will resume again."  The land surveying and issuing of Land Ownership Document to landless has resumed in five municipalities of the district. The Election Commission had instructed to halt it during the election.

Chairman of Land Commission Kailali Yagyaraj Upadhyaya said that the work of land allocation will also begin after the announcement of the provincial and representative assembly election results. He informed that the preparation for land allocation to the landless, and under privileged residents within the district is ongoing.

The commission is considering allocating land in Kailari rural municipality, Bhajani, Lamkichuha or Godwari municipality. The commission claims that land survey work will start in the remaining 6 municipalities as well.

With the appointment of Upadhyay as the chairman of the Land Commission Kailali, 22 households in Dhangadhi-9 were allocated land with Land Ownership documents .

Preparations have started for allocation of land with land ownership documents  to seven thousand landless people of Kailali. The Land Commission has claimed that it is preparing to allocate land to the landless after completing the measurements at the five local levels of the district. The ongoing land survey work at the five local levels of the district was stopped due to the state and representative assembly member elections.
