Nepal, India to conduct joint study on construction activities being undertaken around Mahakali River
Nepal and India have agreed to carry out a joint study on construction activities underway in and around the Mahakali River in Darchula district, Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali announced on Monday.
Responding to the questions raised by lawmakers in Parliament, Minister Gyawali informed the meeting that both nations have formed a team to conduct the study and it will be deployed at the site on April 12.
As per Gyawali, the Government of Nepal earlier also had sent a team led by the Chief Survey Officer of Darchula district to make a field study of the security wall being constructed by India on its side of Mahakali River on January 6 amid reports of encroachment.
Gyawali informed the meeting that border experts from both countries are making the field study as per recommendations made by the team that it would be appropriate to find the exact measurement of the wall with the help of survey officials of both the countries and raise this issue with relevant Indian authorities.
Addressing the meeting of the House of Representatives, lawmaker Badu claimed that around 25 hectares of Nepali land had turned into the riverbank on the Indian side of the border.

Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, lost a parliamentary vote of confidence after 19 months in office. His coalition government crumbled when the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) withdrew support, forming a new alliance with the Nepali Congress. Former PM Khadga Prasad Oli is poised to take over leadership. Dahal's tenure was marked by instability, requiring five confidence votes.

Merrick Garland , Held in Contempt of Congress.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives voted to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress on June 12, BBC reports.
The resolution was passed by a 216-207 vote.
Only one Republican,
David Joyce, voted in opposition. .
As a former prosecutor, I cannot in good
conscience support a resolution that
would further politicize our judicial
system to score political points, Rep. David Joyce, via statement.
Garland is held in contempt of Congress
for refusing to provide interview tapes with President Biden that were recorded during the Justice Department's classified document probe. .
Following the contempt vote, Garland said
House Republicans have "turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon.".
Today’s vote disregards the
constitutional separation of powers,
the Justice Department’s need to
protect its investigations, and the
substantial amount of information we
have provided to the Committees. , Merrick Garland, via statement.
Garland is now the third U.S. attorney
general in American history to be held in contempt of Congress, BBC reports. .
In an opinion piece published in the 'Washington Post' on June 11, Garland said that "the Justice Department is under attack like never before.".
He pointed to a rise in "conspiracy theories, falsehoods, violence and threats of violence towards department officials by Republican critics.".
The short-term political benefits of
those tactics will never make up for
the long-term cost to our country. , Merrick Garland, via the 'Washington Post'
