TGW - A parliamentary committee formed to investigate the Susta land encroachment by the India side has concluded that the areas under Ward No 1 to 7 of Susta VDC, Nawalparasi District, Nepal have been illegally occupied by India.
The committee just returned to the capital from a field investigation of the area under illegal occupation in Nawalparasi District.
Through a report, the committee states that before year 2038 B.S, India had already gulped 14,000 hectares and in the year 2061 B.S only, more than 1,400 hectares of Nepali land were swallowed by India at a go.
The report further states that India’s Border Security Force is heavily deployed in the illegally occupied area.
The committee also suggests the government to take necessary steps towards regaining Nepal’s lost land from the Indian occupation.
Speaking at the parliamentary committee meeting yesterday, the UML leader Mr. Bam Dev Gautam of the Kalapani fame, demanded the summoning immediately of the Indian ambassador and put Nepal’s perspective accordingly.
Home Minister K.P.Sitaula assured the committee that the government will do the needful through diplomatic channels to return the occupied land.
