The post Nepal-India Border Conflict Intensifies as ‘849 Border Pillars Go Missing’ in Province 2! appeared first on Nepali Sansar.
]]>It appears to be yet another instance of growing hostility and a complete disregard to the international border by India.
Eight districts of Province 2 share 464 km of border with India from Gobargadha of Saptari district in the east to Thori of Parsa district in the west.
According to the Armed Police Force (APF) Chhinnamasta Brigade, there are 4,027 border pillars along the border. Among them, 2,064 border pillars are intact, 704 need repair, 319 need replacement, 91 were washed away by rivers, and 849 went missing.
“We have been holding talks with our Indian counterparts from time to time for resolving the problem seen in the no-man’s land due to the missing border pillars on the international border,” said APF DIG Chandra Prakash Gautam.
The missing border markers and the encroachment on the no-man’s land make it challenging to demarcate the Nepal-India border at many places, he added.
According to DIG Gautam, the Indian citizens have encroached the no-man’s land in many districts of Province no 2, settled there, cultivated the land, and even constructed structures. Some instances are as follows:
- Constructed huts and sheds on the no-man’s land at Inarwa Tol
- Cultivated on the no-man’s land at Lachaka Tol in Madar
- Encroached upon the entire no-man’s land at Lagdigoth Tol
- Cultivated crops on the no-man’s land from Lagdi Gadiyani to Sanhaitha village
- Constructed houses and sheds on the no-man’s land from Avaya Nagar to Thadi at Inarwa
- Constructed the Indian customs office encroaching the border at Thadi in Siraha district
- About 50 Indian families have been living on encroached no-man’s land at Lagdigoth of Siraha
- Border pillar -253 has been moved 7m into the Nepali territory, and the land there has been encroached
The local administrations and representatives at the border areas have called for a scientific demarcation of the Nepal-India border. They urged the government to determine the border marker pillars through the GPS system.

]]>Earlier on February 1, 2020, the Nepali Embassy in China had asked the Nepali citizens in Hubei Province to fill an evacuation form and send it to the Embassy before 9:00 am on February 2, 2020.
According to the Nepali Embassy in China, around 180 Nepalis from various cities in Hubei Province have appealed for evacuation from China. They include:
| No of Applications | Place |
| 59 | Wuhan |
| 50 | Jingzhou |
| 29 | Enshi |
| 28 | Shiyan |
| 9 | Jingmen |
| 5 | Yichang |
Around 10 Nepalis working in Hubei Province have not applied for evacuation, according to the Embassy.
The Nepali Embassy said that a chartered Nepal Airlines Corporation aircraft will be arranged for the evacuation of the applied Nepalis on February 5, 2020 via Wuhan Tianhe International Airport.
Before boarding the chartered flight, the Nepali nationals will have to undergo a medical check-up in China. If any one is tested positive for coronavirus, they will be restricted to travel to Nepal and are supposed to undergo treatment in China.
The Nepali Government has decided to isolate the evacuees for at least 15 days before sending them home. They are yet to finalize a location to quarantine the evacuees.
A New ‘Health Desk’
Apart from evacuation plans, the Nepali Government is also taking steps across its borders to prevent the entry of corona virus infection into the country.
A health desk has been set up at Jamunaha, the transit point at the Nepal-India border in Banke district, to prevent the spread of deadly coronavirus.
The people coming to Nepal through this transit point will undergo a health screening to check for coronavirus infection.
The coronavirus death toll in China has reached 361, with 17,238 confirmed infection cases, as of today, i.e., February 3, 2020.
Around 150 confirmed cases have been reported in at least 23 other countries with one death case in the Philippines.
