Dhangadhi, May 11
The Sudurpaschim provincial government has demanded that the federal government immediately mobilise a team for onsite monitoring of the disputed Kalapani region of the province where the Indian government has recently constructed a link road claiming it is the Indian territory.
Chief Minister Trilochan Bhatta says the federal government should reveal the truth to the public as soon as possible, reminding his government had recommended establishing security posts in the region and connect it to other parts of a province through a road network in the past also.
The chief minister also demands that the federal government hold diplomatic talks with the Indian counterpart to resolve the issue.
He says the provincial government is ready to cooperate with the federal government’s initiatives in this regard.
