Delegations say India encroached Nepal's land

The separate delegations of the Constituent Assembly and legislature parliament have concluded that Nepali has been encroached by India in Dang district.

The CA team was lead by Amik Sherchan, chairman of the Committee for Protection of National Interest while the parliamentary delegation was headed by Padma Lal Biswakarma, chairman of the International Relations and Human Rights Committee.

Organising a press conference in Dang Saturday, the all-party CA inspection team urged the government to start rehabilitation of those displaced due to unruly acts of the Indian border security officials, provide them relief support and seek lasting solution to the recurrent border disputes.

The team told local journalists that Indian SSB personnel threatened, harassed and barred Nepalis from purchasing daily consumer goods from the bordering market.

Indian government and some Nepali officials including Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala had denied any border encroachment.
