New Delhi: Another objectionable decision has been taken by Nepal in the ongoing border dispute between Pal and India. The Nepal government has decided to close the open borders to enter Nepal and to enter Nepal only from the border area set by the government. In view of tensions with India, Nepal has also approved deployment of army in its border areas. This is happening for the first time.

There are about 1,700 km of open borders between Nepal and India. Till now Indian citizens coming to Nepal used to get entry from these open borders without any restrictions. With the latest decision of the Government of Nepal, now it will be allowed to enter Nepal only by the prescribed limits. The day the Government of Nepal released its new political map by merging Indian territories, this decision has been taken on the same day. But the government kept this decision hidden for a week. It has been made public after being published in the Gazette.

The Cabinet of Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli, who was in a mood of confrontation with India over the border dispute, has decided to shut down all but 20 borders from India, showing strictness in the name of border administration and security. In the wake of tensions with India, Nepal has also cleared deployment of army in its border areas. This is the first time the army is going to deploy on the Nepal-India border. Until now, the SSB used to monitor the border from the Indian side, while the responsibility of security was handed over by the Armed Guardian Force (APF) from Nepal. In spite of having military barracks in each of the border districts of Nepal, the army was never sent to the border in the name of surveillance or security of the border.
