China hints Nepal raises India's tensions, deploys troops on border

Kathmandu, 3 September 2020, Thursday

Amid rising tensions on the Ladakh front with China, Nepal has also deployed its entire battalion on the border with India. The move is being denied at the behest of China.

India's border with Nepal is a border dispute in the Kalapani area. However, it is worrying that Nepal is now trying to encircle India by launching military deployments. This is the area where the borders of India, Nepal and China meet.

The Nepal Army battalion has been tasked with monitoring the movement of Indian troops. The order was issued by the Oli government and said it was necessary to monitor the Lipulekh border. A Chinese outpost 10 km from where the Nepalese army was deployed. Also exists.

India has built a road in the area at an altitude of 17,000 feet, which Nepal has objected to, and has now released a new map showing three areas in Nepal, including Lipulekh.
