The Nepali Congress has shown concern over construction of roadway by India in Lipulek.
Issuing a press statement on Friday, General Secretaries of the NC duo Bishwaprakash Sharma and Gagan Kumar Thapa said, "The construction of roadway by India in Lipulek is against the agreement of reaching consensus on any disputed issue between the two countries via diplomatic dialogue, which made in the Nepal-India Joint Commission. The roadway construction is serious, condemnable and should be stopped soon."
"NC is clear that Lipulek, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani belong to Nepali territory so Nepal has ownership on these. The Indian Army should leave Kalapani," they stated.
