Reaching Darchula, Dilendra Badu said: I also heard that India was digging the road through Lipulek

Dhangadhi: Minister for Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Dilendra Prasad Badu has said that he has heard the news that India is digging roads through Nepali land. He was speaking at a press conference held by Press Union Darchula at Khalanga district headquarters on Thursday. "I heard that Narendra Modi had built the road to Mansarovar in Lipulek.

I have linked the issue of Mansarovar Yatra to it," he said. "Whatever the issue, it is our land." The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi had stated a program organized in Haldwani town of Nainital in Uttarakhand on January 3 that the Indian government was expanding the road in Lipulek.

Badu said this while the government of Nepal has not made public its official position on the issue. The Indian Army's road construction company Border Roads Organization (BRO) is paving roads in Kalapani. Roads in Gunji have been tarred on encroached Nepali land since November 12.

The road connecting Gunji and Nabhi villages on the encroached Nepali land is being tarred in the first phase. A 22 km road from Gunji to Nabhidhang through Kalapani has been constructed along the Lipukhola in the encroached Nepali land. The Lipukhola, which flows from Lipulek Bhanjyang through Kalapani, merges into the actual Mahakali (Kuti River) at Gunji Dobhan. India has set up a security camp in Kalapani by crossing the border of fake Mahakali (Lipukhola) determined by itself and even before Lipukhola.
