India rejected any third-party involvement in resolving boundary issues with Nepal after remarks by Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah. Responding to the comments, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that nearly 98% of the India-Nepal border has already been demarcated, with only a few segments unresolved due to factors such as the changing course of the Gandak River. He said both countries have established bilateral mechanisms to address boundary matters, including mapping cases of cross-border occupation and no-man’s-land encroachments. India stressed that border issues are strictly bilateral. The controversy followed Shah’s remarks on encroachments and suggestions involving external experts and historical references.
