The Nepalese government has taken the initiative to include India’s “occupied” territory in its revised map and send it to the UN and Google authorities.
The country’s media brought the issue of the plan to the fore on Saturday.
Recently, KP Sharma Oli’s government passed a new map in Parliament including the disputed territories ‘Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura’. The map was passed by 258 votes in the country’s 275-seat parliament.
About this, Nepal’s Land Management Minister Padma Aryal said on Saturday, “We will send this revised map soon. The map will be sent to the international community by mid-August.”
It is also learned that the government of Nepal has already printed 25,000 copies of the revised map and sent it to local units, various provincial agencies and other departments.
Earlier on May 7, India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the road from Lipulekh to Dharchula, r resulting in Nepal’s new border dispute with India.
Nepal and India have an open border of more than 16,000 km. The two countries are in dispute over several of these places. Kalapani, Lipulekh and Susta are among the territories at the center of the dispute. India and Nepal have been discussing the issue for a long time.
‘Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura’ - all three parts of northwestern Nepal, are the current controversial issues. It is bordered by Kumaon in India to the south and Tibet in China to the north. This territory is considered to be strategically important as it is a junction of Nepal, India and China. Source: https://www.daily-bangladesh.com
