Nepal, India clash over Laxmanpur barrage
Both sides issue conflicting claims
By a Post Reporter
KATHMANDU, July 25 - Human Rights and Foreign
Affairs Committee of the
parliament and the Indian Embassy today made conflicting remarks over the
controversy surrounding the construction of afflux bund at Laxmanpur
barrage near the Indo-Nepal border.
The remarks have come five days before
Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala embarks on a landmark India visit.
While the parliamentary committee stressed
that the construction of Laxamanpur barrage and adjoining afflux bund was
an unilateral decision of the Indian government and violation of the
international law, the Indian Embassy here denied allegations today by
issuing a press release.
