Various political parties and student organizations have strongly objected to a recently-unveiled Indian political map that has placed Kalapani, a Nepali territory, inside Indian borders.
Releasing the new Indian political map on November 2, the Indian Home Ministry placed Kalapani inside Indian borders.
The student wings of the ruling NCP and the main opposition Nepali Congress staged a mass demonstration against the Indian move.
In India's new boundary map, Kalapani has been placed in newly-created Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
The new development comes four months after the Modi-led Indian government abrogated Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, ending a special status given to Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.
