Wednesday, 11 Feb, 2026

Kathmandu: The Nepali Communist Party (NCP), led by former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, has vowed to work toward settling the border dispute with India through diplomatic dialogue and international law.

Unveiling the party’s commitment paper ahead of the March 5 elections on Tuesday, party coordinator Dahal said the disputes over Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura, and Kalapani would be resolved through diplomatic talks and in accordance with international law.

Both Nepal and India claim the territory along Nepal’s northwestern border as their own, although it has remained under India’s effective control. Both countries have incorporated the areas into their official political maps.
