Nepal-India Security Talks in Kathmandu
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On November 6, 2009, Secretary to Home Minister Govinda Prasad Kusum led the Nepalese team to hold the two-day talks with the Indian eleven-member team headed by Secretary to Indian Home Ministry G.K. Pillai on cross-border criminal activities, securities on border and extradition in Kathmandu. The Indian team is more interested in the extradition and wants to have a treaty signed on it as soon as possible.
At the same time the state-run newspaper ‘Gorkhapatra’ of November 7, 2009 has reported that the Indian businesspersons have shut down the Rupdehya market near Nepalgunj on November 6 in protest against the Indian Border Security forces harassing the Nepalese shoppers and drastically decreasing their businesses.
