38 new pillars have been constructed and 95 pillars have been repaired and maintained in the Nepal-India border area in Banke.
The field work was carried out for two and a half months as part of a three-month field program conducted to study the condition, document and prepare for the maintenance of the border pillars in the Nepal-India border area.
The team led by the Deputy Secretary, who arrived in Nepalgunj from Kathmandu on Chaitra 20 and started work on Chaitra 27 after holding a joint Nepal-India meeting.
The team, which has been deployed for three months, has conducted a technical study and survey of the border pillars in Banke, Bardiya, Dang, Kapilvastu, Rupandehi and Nawalparasi areas. The technical team under the Survey Department on the Nepal side has completed the work.
According to Khim Rana, Chief Survey Officer of the Survey Department and field team leader, 42 new pillars have been constructed and 109 pillars have been repaired in the survey on both the Nepal and Indian sides.
‘During the survey, the location of the border pillars has been confirmed, details of lost or damaged pillars have been collected and records have been updated,’ Rana said, ‘The main work has been done in Banke, Dang and Kapilvastu.’
According to Banke Chief District Officer Dil Kumar Tamang, a field survey team was mobilized as per the decision of the Joint Committee on Nepal-India Border.
‘Four teams were mobilized across the country on the Nepal-India border for the field survey, of which the Banke region team was ‘Team No. 3,’’ Chief District Officer Tamang said, ‘This team studied the border area under four districts of western Nepal.’
The survey work was jointly carried out by a technical team under the Survey Department on the Nepal side and a technical team of the concerned body on the Indian side. Officer-level employees of the Survey of India participated on the Indian side.
According to Bhim Bahadur Chand, Chief of Armed Police Force No. 30 Battalion, Bageshwori, Superintendent of Armed Police, although a study team has conducted a study on the technical aspects of the location, records and reconstruction of the border pillars, the responsibility for their maintenance and protection has been given to the Armed Police Force, the border security agency.
‘The work of marking and numbering the necessary signs and numbers on the border pillars will also be done as per the agreement between the two countries,’ he said, ‘This year’s work has been completed. After the painting, maintenance and protection of the border pillars are completed, the responsibility will be handed over to the Armed Police Force on the Nepal side and the Border Security Force on the Indian side.’
It is stated that with the completion of the survey, the necessary process will be taken forward to carry out the maintenance and reconstruction of the border pillars more effectively. It is stated that the work will start next time from Kartik.
