Kathmandu, Jun 6 (PTI) Vindicating New Delhi's stand, the Nepalese government has dismissed allegation by Maoists that Indian security forces had encroached the border districts of Dang and Bara, saying it had found no evidence in this regard.
After a meeting with Indian Ambassador to Nepal Rakesh Sood, Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala told reporters last night that as per preliminary reports the government here has not found any encroachment of land and harassment of locals by Indian security forces.
"The government has sent a team to investigate the matter and so far as per our information, no such thing has come out," she said.
Her remarks follow Maoists' allegation that Indian security forces had encroached the border in Dang and Bara districts and shifted the pillars. A section of Nepalese media had also levelled such allegations against the Indian side.
Ambassador Sood said the allegations were totally false and fabricated and that some people were deliberately spreading the rumour to disturb the friendly ties between the neighbouring countries. He asked the Nepalese government to investigate the matter. PTI
