Talks Postponed in Susta Over Temporary Dam Dispute

Butwal. A discussion that was supposed to take place on Monday between locals and the Indian Armed Border Force (SSB) in Susta, West Nawalparasi, has been postponed. The tension that arose on Sunday afternoon over the issue of constructing a temporary dam has now subsided, but a discussion was agreed upon regarding the same issue. However, the Indian side stated that the discussion has been postponed as they had to attend to an SSB soldier who was bitten by a snake and required treatment.

Adam Khan, coordinator of the Susta Bachau Abhiyan and ward member of Susta Rural Municipality-5, said that although an agreement was reached to hold discussions with the Indian side on Monday, they received a response that they could not participate in the discussion as they had to attend to an SSB soldier who was bitten by a snake and required treatment.
