Clarification
Reference is drawn to reports on Mahalisagar in
The Kathmandu Post on March 22, 2003, suggesting that India is raising the height of the
dike at Mahalisagar.
In this context, may I draw your attention to
the Press release issued by the Embassy of India on March 20, in which, it is
categorically mentioned that-
a) Reconstruction of the damaged gated escape of
Mahalisagar was begun in January 2003 after a joint survey had taken place in September
2002 by the contact officers of Nepal and India, and only after recieving the approval of
the design from the Nepalese side in December 2002.
b) Press release also referred to the
understanding between the two countries as per which there would be no alteration in the
full reservoir level of 92.76 metres as well as the crest level of the regulator of
Mahalisagar at 91.60 metres.
