KAPILVASTU: Protests have been held in the district against the alleged encroachment of Nepali land by China in Humla district.

The protest staged outside the District Administration Office was organized by the District Working Committee of the Nepal World Hindu Federation.

They chanted slogans—Return the encroached Nepali lands, stop Chinese encroachment and ensure border security among others.

They also demanded to lift restrictions on religious activities.

In the demonstration held in the presence of Province General Secretary Niranjan Yadav and chaired by Uday Bhan Yadav, the protesters warned of launching phase-wise protests if demands not addressed by the government.

It has been revealed that the physical structure built by China in Lolungjong falls in the Nepali territory and that China has encroached on Nepali land in Humla.

The report prepared by a parliamentary team led by the Nepali Congress (NC) leader and Karnali Provincial Assembly lawmaker Jeewan Bahadur Shahi after a field visit has concluded that China has encroached on Nepali land, despite denial from both China and the Government of Nepal.

It should be noted that China has also encroached some two kilometers of the section of a road built by Nepal from Gappudocha in Humla district.
