India, Nepal to explore high resolution satellite images

Kathmandu, September 24: India and Nepal share relations of the close neighborhood. Demographically linked close, the two countries share a close knitted bond with each other. Furthering the nexus of deep friendship, India and Nepal have agreed to explore the possibility of using high-resolution satellite images in boundary survey work.

 

During the 5th meeting of the Nepal-India Boundary Working Group (BWG), both sides also agreed to continue mapping of no man's land encroachment and cross-border occupation. The two countries also agreed to maintain the status quo in the cultivation of the disputed land until an agreement is reached between the two governments.

The three-day meeting also reviewed the outcome of the 4th BWG meet held in Dehradun last year and ensured that the guidelines issued earlier have been properly followed. The meeting also agreed to finalize the work schedule for the remaining field seasons.

The BWG is a joint body constituted by India and Nepal in 2014 to conduct works in the fields of construction, restoration and repair of boundary pillars, including clearance of no man's land and other technical tasks.
