Nepal's cabinet has released a new political map of Nepal in a landmark decision. In this map, Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipulekh are shown as part of the Nepal border - which has been invaded illegally by India.
India has also expressed strong objection to this. The Cabinet of Nepal, while giving it its justified claim, said that the source of Mahakali (Sharda) river is actually Limpiyadhura which is currently part of Uttarakhand in India. India has been denying this.
The decision of Nepal's cabinet came ten days after the inauguration of the border road in the Lipulekh area from India . Tibet is the only way to go to Mansarovar in China via Kalapani (Nepal) . After this road was built, Nepal had strongly opposed India's move. India's opposition to the move was seen in Kathmandu from the Parliament of Nepal to the streets of Kathmandu .
