According to a report in the Kathmandu Post in your Press conference, that he hopes that India could lead to Nepal’s decision to publish the new map in a “positive way”. She did not elaborate.
The 80 km stretch of the highway from New Delhi, built in Uttarakhand on the Dharchula to Lipulekh to make it easier for pilgrims to reach Kailash Mansarovar in the Tibet Autonomous Region offers the perfect opportunity.
Army chief Gen Manoj Mukund Naravane brushed aside the shrill voices of Kathmandu, stressing that there was no dispute over the land on which the road had been built. Gen Naravane went on to suggest that the protests could be at the behest of “someone”, a veiled reference to China.
The prime Minister of Oli, who was severely tilt towards China, it has been described the Gene Naravane comment as “inappropriate”.
KALAPANI

Indian security officials say that China has tacitly recognized India’s claim over the Kalapani when it was agreed to open a border trade post at Lipulekh in 2015.
India reacts to Nepal map
