India-Nepal tensions

Last week, Nepal’s Parliament authorities cleared the country’s new map, which includes Indian territories of Limpiadhura, Lipulek and Kalapani. Moreover, Nepal once again contested an international border issue with India and laid claim over the Indian territory of Bihar. Reportedly, the Nepalese authorities have now stopped Indian officials from conducting embarkment-related work along the border area. The incident occurred on June 15 on the banks of the Lal Bakey River in Bihar's East Champaran district, 45 kilometres away from the Motihari town. As the work was proceeding, Nepalese authorities reportedly interfered and prevented the fortification of the embankment.
