Kathmandu, May 10
The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation has assured that it is ready to publish a new political map of the country that incorporates the region of Kalapani including Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura once there is a favourable environment in the country.
Since India published its new political map in November last year incorporating the disputed region, there are demands galore for giving an encounter to India by publishing its new map incorporating the region that belongs to Nepal as per the Sugauli Treaty.
Speaking in a meeting of the International Relations and Labour Committee in Parliament on Sunday, the ministry’s secretary Neupane said the ministry was waiting for an appropriate environment to issue the new map. He, however, did not explain what that environment meant.
During the meeting, the lawmakers had vented their ire at the officials for their failure to publish a new map despite the widespread pressure.
