Nepal has entrusted the work of printing Rs 100 notes to the Chinese company China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation. This company will print 30 crore copies of the notes. The map on this note shows India’s Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani regions as part of Nepal.

The Nepal government approved the design of the notes in a cabinet meeting in May.

On May 20, 2020, Nepal created a controversy by issuing a new map through constitutional amendment, claiming Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani as its part. Nepal shares a 1,850 km long border with five Indian states of Sikkim, West Bengal, Bihar, UP and Uttarakhand. These three disputed areas cover a border of about 370 square km.

The people of these areas are India’s taxpayers, voters

India has complete control over the Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani areas located near the Nagari region of western Tibet for the last 60 years. The people living here are Indian citizens, pay taxes in India and also vote.

All three areas are strategically important

The Kalapani region is strategically important in South Asian diplomacy. It is at the triangular junction between India, Tibet and Nepal. At the same time, the Lipulekh pass connects Uttarakhand to Tibet. Nepal’s claim on the Limpiyadhura Pass area stems from its claim on Kalapani. It is adjacent to India near the Ngari border of Tibet. Limpiyadhura-Kalapani-Lipulekh is part of Pithoragarh district in the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand and is completely under Indian administration.
