Nepal tells its envoy to take up mural issue with India

Lawmakers in parliamentary panel raise concerns over Tarai inundation caused by roads across the border.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday instructed the Nepali Embassy in New Delhi to seek answers from the Indian foreign ministry about a controversial mural in India’s new parliament building. The mural titled ‘Akhand Bharat’—or ‘Undivided India’—has stoked controversy as it shows parts of several South Asian countries, including Nepal’s Lumbini and Kapilvastu, as India.
