DPG is a non-partisan institution and is independently funded by a non-profit Trust. Over past decades, DPG has established itself in both domestic and international circles and is widely recognised today among the top security think tanks of India and of Asia’s major powers. Since 2016, in keeping with India’s increasing global profile, DPG has expanded its focus areas to include India’s regional and global role and its policies in the Indo-Pacific. In a realist environment, DPG remains mindful of the need to align India’s ambitions with matching strategies and capabilities, from diplomatic initiatives to security policy and military modernisation. At a time of disruptive change in the global order, DPG aims to deliver research based, relevant, reliable and realist policy perspectives to an actively engaged public, both at home and abroad. DPG is deeply committed to the growth of India’s national power and purpose, the security and prosperity of the people of India and India’s contributions to the global public good. We remain firmly anchored within these foundational principles which have defined DPG since its inception. The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Delhi Policy Group as an Institution.

    Journal of International Affairs Vol. 3, 1-41, 2020 Doi: https://doi.org/10.3126/joia.v3i1.29077 Department of International Relations and Diplomacy Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal North-Western Boundary of Nepal Dwarika Dhungel Jagat Bhusal Narendra Khanal Abstract Following the publication of new political maps by India on 2nd and 8th November 2019, the issues related to the source of Mahakali River and Indian occupation of the Nepali territory east of the river, have, once again, come to the surface. And, the Nepali civil society has come out strongly against the newly published political maps of India, prepared a new map of Nepal, showing the whole of the territory east of Mahakali River (about 400 sq. km) as Nepalese land on the basis of Treaty of Sugauli signed in 1816 by East India Company of Great Britain and Raja of Nepal. An analysis of the maps, so far available, shows that changes have been made in the names of the river and places, and there is cartographic aggression and manipulation by India in relation to Mahakali River and its boundary with Nepal’s northwest. It has also been found that Nepal has published a map in the past showing its international boundary without any basis of the treaties and other historical documents. Analysis clearly shows that the river originating from Limpiyadhura is the Mahakali (called Kalee/Kali River) as per Article 5 of the Sugauli treaty and it forms the international boundary between the two countries. Keywords: Anglo-Nepal War, Sugauli Treaty, Cartographic Aggression, Nepal-India Territorial Disputes 1 Dwarika Dhungel, Jagat Bhusal & Narendra Khanal/North-Western … Vol.

The second round of the campaign began on 7 March, targeting people over 55 and with co-morbidities. As of 9 March, a total of 1,116,554 people have received at least one does of a COVID-19 vaccine. Some vaccine hesitancy has been observed among the population, citing concerns over its safety, efficacy and side effects. Half of the 4,257 questions received through various hotlines over the past two weeks have been related to COVID-19 vaccines, vaccine eligibility, vaccine trails, vaccine safety and efficacy, COVID-19 general information and dos and don’ts for recently vaccinated people. Over the past two weeks, seven vulnerable Nepali migrants (all male) stranded abroad were provided with support to return to Nepal in coordination with the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security, and Nepal Embassy in Malaysia and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Ministry of Health and Population organised two rounds of national review of nutrition rehabilitation homes (NRH) between 25-27 January and 10-12 February 2021. The workshop identified key issues and made several recommendations on programme improvement, primarily centring on improving integration of NRHs services and information at local and district levels, as well as with hospitals to enhance coordination and treatment.
