Nepal Government Planning to Conduct Census in Indian Areas Which They Claim as Theirs

The Government of Nepal has planned to conduct a census in the Indian areas of Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura, and Kalapani of Pithoragarh which they have claimed as theirs. These are the same areas that Nepal had shown in their map and has printed in their textbooks and coins. One of the residents of Pithoragrah mentioned, “We are citizens of India. Why should we participate in a census conducted by the Nepalese government?”
