Tensions between India and Nepal escalated after Kathmandu, in a surprise move, issued a new political map which included Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani, areas which have been part of the Indian territory.
Around 36 hectares of land in four districts of Nepal, which border China, have been illegally occupied by China, but so far Nepalese government is tight-lipped about it.
Minister for Water Resources, Sanjay Jha said that the Gandak barrage has 36 gates of which 18 are in Nepal and the neighbouring country has put barriers in the area where the flood-fighting material is present.
The lower house of the parliament had passed the bill on June 13, 2020.
In a major setback for India, the parliament of Nepal on Saturday voted in favour of the constitutional amendment bill in a special session to update the country’s map claiming key areas of Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura along the border with India.
On June 9, Nepal's House of Representative had unanimously endorsed the Constitution Amendment Bill to adopt a new map of the country which includes Indian areas of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura.
Nepal's objections came after the Indian Home Ministry released the political map of India, showing Kalapani within Indian borders.
