India Hinders Nepal's Embankment Construction on Narayani River, Airspace Violation Reported

Kathmandu. Recently, the Indian side has been obstructing the construction of an embankment by Nepal on the eastern bank of the Narayani River in Nawalparasi West. On Jestha 18, Indian Armed Border Force (SSB) personnel entered Nepal and stopped the embankment construction.

The Irrigation and Water Resources Management Office, Chitwan, is constructing embankments in two places in Susta Rural Municipality-5. Although the construction of one embankment, 100 meters long, and another, 132 meters long, has been progressing, the Indian side has been obstructing it. The construction of the 132-meter-long embankment is stalled due to pressure from the Indian side to start construction only after discussing it at a 'higher level'. The construction of the 100-meter-long embankment has not been stopped, said Deepakraj Nepal, Chief District Officer of Nawalparasi West.
