Nepal to send revised map to India in middle of August, says Minister

NEW DELHI: After having issued a new map showing Indian territory as part of Nepal, the K P Sharma Oli government is preparing to share the map with the “international community”, including the UN.

The map, which was issued despite protests by India, was later “legitimised” unanimously by Nepal’s parliament by including it in the national emblem. The new map shows India’s Kalapani area along with Limpiyadhura and the strategically located Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand as belonging to Nepal.

Sending the map to UN is unlikely to help Nepal’s cause as the organisation generally keeps off such territorial claims in the form of maps presented by countries.
