Nepal govt says no evidence of encroachment by Indian forces

Shirish B Pradhan
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

काठमाडौं, जेठ २२ (नागरिक)- प्रधानमन्त्री माधवकुमार नेपालले पछिल्लो समय सीमाक्षेत्रमा देखिएका विवाद सुल्झाउन परराष्टमन्त्रालय मार्फत् कूटनीतिक पहल भैरहेको जानकारी दिएका छन्। भारतीय पक्षबाट भइरहेको सिमा अतिक्रमण र ज्यादतीको बिरोधमा विद्यार्थी सँगठनहरुले बुझाएको ज्ञापन पत्र शुक्रबार बुझ्दै प्रधानमन्त्री नेपालले परराष्टसचिवलाई बिहीबार नै भारतीय पक्षको ध्यानाकर्षण गराउन निर्देशन दिएको बताए। 
"परराष्ट्र सचिवमार्फत् भारतीय प्रतिनिधि बोलाएर सीमामा देखिएको समस्या समाधानका लागि बिहीबार नै निर्देशन दिइसकेको छु" प्रधानमन्त्री नेपालले भने, "प्रेसमा मात्रै नआएको हो।"

आफ्नो निवास बालुवाटारमा आएका विभिन्न १२ विद्यार्थी संगठनहरु समक्ष प्रधानमन्त्री नेपालले राष्टियता माथि आँच आउने कुनै पनि गतिविधिप्रति आफूले सम्झौता नगर्ने स्पष्ट पारेकको नेपाल विद्यार्थी संघका प्रवक्ता रामप्रसाद अधिकारीले जानकारी दिए।

नेविसंघका अध्यक्ष प्रदीप पौडेलकाअनुसार विद्यार्थी संगठनले विहान ११ बजे विद्यार्थी सगठनले नारा जुलुशसहित लैनचौरस्थित भारतीय दुताबासमा पुगेर ज्ञापनपत्र बुझाउँदै छन्।

माओवादी बाहेक १२ दल निकटका विद्यार्थी संगठनहरूको बिहीबारको संयुक्त बैठकले राष्ट्रियताको गम्भीर सवालको रुपमा रहेको सीमा अतिक्रमणको बारेमा तत्काल सरकारले उच्च कुटनीतिक पहलका लागि आग्रह गर्न प्रधानमन्त्रीको ध्यानकर्षण गराउने र सीमाविद् र सरोकारवालाहरुसँग अन्तक्रिया गर्ने निर्णय गरेको थियो।

उता भारतीय दुताबासले भने शुक्रबार साँझ वक्तव्य प्रकाशित गर्दै सरकारी तबरबाट दुताबासलाई  यस संवन्धमा कुनै जानकारी नआएको बताएको छ।

दुताबासले दाङमा भर्खरै नेपाल तर्फको सिमा मिचिएको भन्ने भनाइलाई खन्डन गरेको छ।

SSB becomes Nepal's new villain 4 Jun 2009, 1814 hrs IST, Sudeshna Sarkar, TNN

KATHMANDU: The Seema Suraksha Bal (SSB), India's paramilitary forces deployed along the Indo-Nepal border, have become the new villain in the Himalayan republic with growing allegations of attacks and rape against them. On Thursday, common complaints against India united Nepal's usual warring parties with 18 of them, including the current ruling party, the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (UML), and its ally-turned-foe the Maoists, condemning reported fresh atrocities by the Indian forces and agreeing to send a team to two border districts for inspection. Out of power and blaming India for that, the Maoists jumped into the fray Thursday after a series of reports in the media that the SSB was spreading terror in more than 20 border villages in Dang district in midwestern Nepal, roughing up men and raping women. The Kathmandu Post daily also said that Nepali women have been going missing while visiting their relatives across the border. Over 2000 people were said to have fled their villages and taken shelter in a community forest. There are also reports of Indian encroachment on Nepali territory in Bara, Nawalparasi, Parsa, Darchula, Ilam and Jhapa districts. While Nepal's home ministry said it had asked Dang's chief district officer to submit a report, the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu said it had not been given any official indication by the foreign ministry. Nepal's student organisations have also announced they would send a team to Dang. Twelve such organisations have petitioned the new Prime Minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal, and said they would hold protests before the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu Friday. Five lesser parties have already staged a demonstration before the embassy Wednesday. The SSB has came under fire in the past too for fired on Nepali villagers returning home after buying essential goods in Indian border towns. source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/SSB-becomes-Nepals-new-villain/articleshow/4617564.cms

Indian SSB displacing Nepalis from their own land

Indian SSB displacing Nepalis from their own land

BY DURGALAL KC

DANG, June 2 - Number of displaced Nepalis continues to rise with border security force of India, Seema Surakshya Bal (SSB), driving the villagers out of their own land in Dang district.

On Tuesday itself, 200 more people left their homes and arrived Deukhuri while hundreds have been stranded on the way, leader of the displaced Roshan Pun said.

The number stood at over 1,800 on Monday. They had walked two days to reach Satbariya-2.

The SSB has been moving border pillars towards Nepali land and displacing residents of some 22 villages near the Nepal-India border area claiming the land to be India’s.

The Indian border force has already encroached Bhousahi, Sunpathri, Khangra of Rajpur VDC and Baruwa, Patauli, Siriya, Sukouli, Gurung, Koilabas of Bela VDC.

More than 6,000 have been dispelled from Dang-Kapilvastu border area to Dang-Banke point.

The displaced are now taking shelter at a community forest in Banghushri, Deukhuri.

As if being driven out from their own homes was not enough, they are now being asked to move by the community forest consumers’ group.

Chief District Officer Rishiram Dhakal says efforts are being made to take further steps after inspecting the border sites.

The Indian side is learnt to encroach hundreds of hectares of land every year in Susta, Nawalparasi as well.
