Nepal deploys troops at India border for the first time in history
The Nepali army has built a helipad and established a camp of tents along the Indo-Nepal border
(Web Desk) - India’s border with Nepal near the Chinese Territory is witnessing unprecedented activities. As the Nepalese parliament approved a new political map showing the Indian territory near Lipulekh as its part, the Nepali Army is now building a helipad and has established a camp of tents at the Indo-Nepal border.
"In this temporary looking camp, one can see dozens of Nepali soldiers deployed there. This is something which has happened for the first time in this area," sources said.
After the conflict between China in India broke out in Ladakh and Sikkim sectors, Nepal started claiming that the area near Lipulekh along the Kali Nadi belongs to it.
Dharchula adjoins both Nepal and China and that is where a road has been built between it and Lipulekh for travel to Mansarovar in Tibet.
In Dharchula, the Kali Nadi accessed the border between India and Nepal where hundreds of villages are settled and many small bridges have been built for people to travel with ease.
However, due to the lockdown measures imposed on both sides, the travel has been put on hold. The Indian side is guarded by the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and its troops can be seen patrolling along the border.
The activities of the Indian Army have also increased and the Border Roads Organisation personnel can be seen continuously working on the newly built road which is critical for military purposes as well.
