KATHMANDU, Jan 15: The Nepali Congress has shown concern over the construction of a roadway by India in Lipulekh.
Issuing a press statement on Friday, general secretaries of the NC duo Gagan Kumar Thapa and Gagan Kumar Thapa said that the construction of roadway by India in Lipulekh 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.

"The border issues between Nepal and India should be addressed via high-level diplomatic medium and based on historical facts.”
They also drew attention to the statement Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made on the construction of a roadway undergoing in the Lipulekh area.

Other office bearers include Purna Bahadur Khadka (vice-president), Kishor Singh Rathor, Malalaxmi Upadhyay, Farmullah Mansoor, Umakanta Chaudhary, Mahendra Yadav and Bhishmaraj Angdembe (joint general secretaries).
The team, except for Deuba and Khadka, has all new members. While Deuba completed his first tenure as the party tenure (2016-2021), Khadka was one of two general secretaries in the Deuba-led team.
Thapa contested for the same position in the 2016 general convention, however, lost to Dr Shahshank Koirala.
