Indian Encroachment on Nepalese Territory
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
The state-run newspaper ‘Gorkhapatra’ of July 9, 2009, has published the news item stating on July 8, 2009, Chairman of the Committee on Studying Nepal-India Border Problem and Sufferings of Nepalis Living in the Border Areas, and Leader of the Visit Team Padma Lal Biswokarma has submitted the report on ‘Study Visit to the border areas and the harassment of Nepalis by the Indians’. According to the report, India has encroached on the Nepalese territory in the border areas of the Bara and Dang districts, and the Indians have harassed the Nepalis living in the border areas, and looted livestock and have sexually abused the Nepalese women.
The report has stated that while the team was in the field, in an attempt to cover up the Indian encroachment on the Nepalese territory, Indian Ambassador Rakesh Sood and Indian Foreign Secretary Shivashanker Menon issued an irresponsible statement in which they said, “the border problem is an inciting political issue made up by a single party.”
The report also has stated that Nepal and India need to restore the border pillars following the border map prepared by Nepal and the then British-India government from 1816 to 1875, as most of the pillars are either disappeared or dislocated in the areas the team has visited.
