According to a survey conducted by India in 2018, no demarcation was found
Khim Lal Gautam of the Survey Office Kaski, who is also the member secretary of the committee, said that they did not find the basis for demarcating the area of 10 sq km mentioned in the report of Nepal-India Cooperation Mission-2018 during the study. According to the report of the Sahayog Mission, the area of the lake is more than 10 square kilometers, but that area has never been in the history.
Gautam said that according to the Survey of India in history, the area was never in the report. According to the map, it is 4.39 sq km. Only 10 categories are mentioned in the report. No document can confirm that.
Punya Prasad Poudel, coordinator of the committee, said that they could not find the basis on which the map was made at that time. According to the survey of that time, it is impossible to estimate that if more than 9 sq km or 22,000 ropanis is taken as the basis, it will reach the top of the border.
