With river changing its course, India encroaches Nepal’s territory

KATHMANDU, March 15: Jamuni River, a no-man’s land at the Danusha-based India-Nepal border point, changed course due to flooding. The river encroached around 500 meters of land in Mukhiyapatti Musharniya Municipality-2 of Danusha district in Nepal. Following the incident, the Indian side has begun claiming the encroached land as India’s territory.

Bikhari Yadav, a local of Mukhiyapatti Musharniya Municipality-2, is worried as his land now lies on the Indian side with the river changing its course. According to Yadav, his land is now being claimed by India, maintaining that it belongs to their territory.
