Fights over border dispute between India and Nepal –
Last year when India included the Kalapani region in the map of its new union territory Ladakh, the Nepal government objected to it and described it as part of Nepal. After this, Nepal reacted strongly when India inaugurated the road leading to Lipulekh. At the same time, Nepal included Indian regions Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura in its map. India called it unacceptable and said that Nepal’s claim on these areas is absolutely baseless.
