Kathmandu, Aug 27 (UNI) The Nepal Government has decided to nationalise more royal palaces and Land.

The government recommended the nationalisation of the Nagarjuna Forest and Gokarna Golf Links, Diyalo Bungalow in the Chitwan National Park and Ratna Mandir on the bank of the Phewa lake in Pokhara. It has also decided to nationalise more than five forests.
