The new map was officially released by Nepal’s Land Reforms Minister Padma Aryal during a televised press conference in Kathmandu. It showed the boundary of Nepal extended to include areas such as Lipulek and Kalapani which were not a part of the Nepalese map before.

On Wednesday, the spokesperson from India’s External Affairs Ministery – Anurag Srivastava commented on the Nepalese map and called it ‘unilateral act.’ He said the country will not accept such ‘artificial enlargement territorial claims by Nepal’. “This unilateral act is not based on historical facts and evidence. It is contrary to the bilateral understanding to resolve the outstanding boundary issues through diplomatic dialogue. Nepal is well aware of India’s consistent position on this matter and we urge the government of Nepal to refrain from such unjustified cartographic assertion and respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said Srivastava.
