1.1 BACKGROUND
Lalbandi is a Municipality in Sarlahi District in the Janakpur Zone of Central Development Region of
Nepal. The municipality was established on 18 May 2014 by merging the existing Parwanipur VDC,
Netragung VDC, Jabdi, Lalbandi and Pattharkot VDCs. At the time of the 2021 Nepal Census, it had
a population of 67,507 living in 13905 individual households. There are 17 wards in this municipality.
It is the largest municipality in Sarlahi district. The office of this municipality is in ward no.6 Located
in the Lalbandi. Lalbandi Bazar, located on the East West Mahendra highway, is one of the main
trading areas within the municipal area. Bordering East Ishwarpur Municipality, West Hariwan and
Haripur Municipality, North Sindhuli District and bordering Haripur and Ishwarpur in the south,
Lalbandi Bazar is the main trading site of the district. Due to increasing urbanization, increased
business activity, this municipality is becoming a center of attraction in the district and is developing
as the largest municipality in the district.
The whole municipality is moving forward unitedly for the prosperity and development of this
municipality by embracing the original slogan, "Clean, beautiful and prosperous city, Pride of Sarlahi
District." The municipality is committed to the economic and social upliftment of women, indigenous
nationalities, Dalits, the disabled within the municipal area. The place is famous for tomato
production in whole Nepal. Tomato and other green vegetables are the chief cash crop of this place
along with paddy, wheat, maize and other crops. It is the fast developing Municipality in Mid Terai
region of Nepal. Bhudeo Khadya Udhyog (Hulas Foods), a subsidiary of Hulas Group is located here
which is one of the biggest rice, pulse and flour manufacturing and packaging industry in Nepal.
Lalbandi municipality, located in Sarlahi District of Nepal's Madhesh Province, covers an area of
approximately 238.5 square kilometers and has a population of over 67,507 people (2076 BS). The
municipality is situated in the Terai region, which is known for its flat, fertile plains and a tropical
rainfall climate with high levels of precipitation year-round. The area is home to people of diverse
ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, with Bramhan, Chhetri, Sanyasi and Madhesi are situated and
being the primary languages spoken. Lalbandi is primarily an agricultural area, with farming activities
such as the production of paddy, wheat, maize, sugarcane and lots of vegetables being the main source
of livelihood for most of the population. Additionally, there has been some growth in manufacturing
and tourism industries in recent years. Overall, Lalbandi is a vibrant community with a rich culture
and natural resources.
Lalbandi Municipality, like most areas in Nepal, is characterized by religious diversity. The
predominant religion in the region is Hinduism, followed by Buddhism, Islam, and other minority
religions. The municipality is home to several temples, shrines, and religious sites of cultural and
religious significance. Lalbandi Municipality is situated in the Terai region of Nepal, which is the flat,
low-lying southern part of the country. The Terai is known for its fertile agricultural land, and
Lalbandi is no exception. The municipality primarily consists of agricultural lands used for cultivating
crops such as rice, wheat, maize, sugarcane, and vegetables. There may also be some forested areas
and residential settlements within the municipality.
The climate in Lalbandi Municipality, being part of the Terai region, is characterized as a subtropical
monsoon climate. The summers are hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 40 degrees
Celsius (77 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy
rainfall. Winters are generally mild, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 25 degrees Celsius (41 to 77
degrees Fahrenheit). Lalbandi Municipality is a landlocked area in Nepal, located far from any
coastline. Therefore, it does not have a direct relationship with sea level as it is situated in an inland
region.
Overall, the exploration project will provide critical data and insights into the soil and
environmental characteristics of the project area, which will inform future land-use decisions and
ensure sustainable development practices. Some of the objectives of the project are as follows:
Next, retrieval research was conducted to collect data on the physical characteristics of the project
area, including soil type, vegetation, and topography. Control areas were then established to provide a
reference point for subsequent survey activities. Traversing and detailed Cadastral research were
carried out to accurately determine the location and boundaries of the project area. This involved
physically mapping the area and collecting data on land use, ownership, and other relevant
information.
Finally, the project team created a map of the Lalbandi Municipality Project, which integrated all the
collected data and provided a visual representation of the project area. Overall, the comprehensive
approach used in the research activities ensured that all relevant data was collected and analyzed,
providing a solid foundation for the subsequent phases of the project.
During the field survey, our team strictly adhered to the specifications provided by the Survey
Department for the Modified Universal Transverse Mercator (MUTM) projection system. This
ensured that all survey activities were carried out accurately and consistently, with a high degree of
precision and reliability. The MUTM projection system is a widely recognized and standardized
coordinate reference system, which uses a series of mathematical formulas to convert three-
dimensional coordinates into two-dimensional map projections. By following the specifications of this
system, our team was able to ensure that all survey data was accurately recorded and could be easily
integrated into a variety of mapping and GIS software applications.
Furthermore, adhering to the specifications provided by the Survey Department helped to minimize
errors and ensure that all survey measurements were consistent and accurate. This, in turn, enabled us
to produce detailed and reliable maps and other visual representations of the project area, which will
be critical for informing future decision-making and development activities. The strict adherence to
the specifications of the MUTM projection system during the field survey was a key factor in
ensuring the success and accuracy of the project.

To accurately determine the position of the control points within the project area, we created closed
horizontal loops using a combination of DGPS technology and direct control at points. The links to
other points were listed as offsets, and duplicate measurement sets were considered points. We
carefully calculated the horizontal and vertical angles, as well as the intermediate distances, before
performing the horizontal calculations. This involved measuring the horizontal and vertical angles
using the right and left faces, as well as the distance from the front and back channels. Using these
measurements, we were able to calculate the horizontal position of the control points (E. N) from the
traverse. This allowed us to accurately locate and map the project area, and ensure that all survey data
was recorded with a high degree of precision and reliability.
Overall, the use of advanced surveying technologies and careful calculations was essential for
achieving accurate and reliable survey data for the project area. By utilizing these techniques, we were
able to produce detailed and accurate maps and other visual representations of the project area, which
will be critical for informing future decision-making and development activities. The horizontal
orientation of the horizontal loop is defined by 1 / ((∆E + ∆N / D) and 1 / (∆H / D). in vertical closure.
A total of 1 horizontal closed horizontal control loop was made in all project alignment.
Overall, the use of advanced surveying equipment and techniques was essential for accurately
capturing and representing the land features of Lalbandi Municipality. By utilizing these tools, we
were able to produce detailed and accurate maps and other visual representations of the project area,
which will be critical for informing future decision-making and development activities. The Cadastral
survey depicted the following information on the ground:

We conducted a detailed survey of the project area using an advanced total station that enabled us to
precisely measure both angles and distances. This was achieved through the use of electro-optical
scanning of digital bar-codes etched on rotating glass cylinders or discs within the instrument, as well
as Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) devices fitted inside the telescope to accurately measure
distance.
To further improve the accuracy of our surveying work, we used an advanced instrument called the
N3 for RTK work. This instrument is particularly well-suited for detailed surveying work across large
areas, as it offers the same high levels of precision as our total station. By using these advanced tools
and techniques, we were able to capture detailed and accurate information about the project area,
which will be critical for informing future development and decision-making activities.
4 CADASTRAL MAPPING
The data collected by our field inspectors was carefully sorted and analyzed to identify any gaps in
our research activities. This information was then brought to our offices in Kathmandu for final
planning and map preparation. We used a variety of software tools to develop our Cadastral map,
including GIS (using QGIS software) and AutoCAD with SW DTM software. This allowed us to
integrate all boundaries and man-made objects within the project area, including houses, rivers, roads,
tracks, water canals, and terraces.
Our Cadastral map was developed at a scale of 1:2500 on paper, with additional details taken from a
scale of 1:500. We have included both A3 appendices and real-scale (large-size) maps in Volume-II
of our project report. By carefully developing and presenting our Cadastral map, we have provided a
detailed and accurate representation of the project area that will be essential for future planning and
decision-making activities.
