KATHMANDU: Two years after India’s then external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee visited Nepal and said 98 percent of the border disputes between the two neighbours had been resolved and a new boundary would be delineated soon, Nepal’s lawmakers have demanded a revision in the completed survey, saying problems persisted in at least 15 districts in southern Nepal, adjoining India’s Terai plains.
The Foreign Relations and Human Rights Committee of Nepal’s interim parliament has released a report based on lawmakers’ visits to contentious districts, asking the government to reclaim the land it says has been encroached on by India.
