Historic event

 Historic event

It was wonderful to see all the 258 lawmakers belonging to different political parties unanimously voted for the amendment of the constitution to update the Nepal map following India's unilateral decision to include disputed land- Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani in its recently published map. Four lawmakers from the 275-strong House have been suspended, either on corruption charges or criminal offenses, while 12 others were absent during the vote. The bill needed 184 votes, two thirds of the Lower House, once the Upper House endorses this amendment bill, it will be forwarded to the President for her authentication. 


This historic event will remain incomplete if the government will fail to diplomatically solve this long outstanding national problem with India. If the Indian government had not build the motor-able road on the disputed land and unilaterally published map showing disputed lands on it, perhaps, our government would have remained dormant in this issue.



Indian government has started blaming Oli led government for unilaterally taking this action and made it clear that these are the Indian Territory which has been included in recently updated Nepal map. This indicates that the Indian government does not seem to be interested in resolving this burning issue. 


It is also yet to be seen whether Oli had pushed this issue to save his chair at a time when he was having difficult time with his own party or he was really serious to diplomatically resolve this long outstanding issue.

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development.
