After China encroaches Nepal's territory, nation's opposition party moves motion in Parliament

New Delhi: Nepal's opposition party Nepali Congress moved a motion in the lower house of Nepali Parliament on the Nepalese land encroached by China. Nepali Congress lawmakers Devendra Raj Kandel, Satya Narayan Sharma Khanal and Sanjaya Kumar Gautam put the motion in place drawing the KP Sharma Oli led government. 

According to the motion, "64 hectares has been encroached upon in Dolakha, Humla, Sindhupalchowk, Sankhuwasabha, Gorkha and Rasuwa districts" of Nepal by China.

It adds, "Pillar 35 has been shifted at the border, which has led to Northern Gorkha's Rui Village falling into China's Tibet region. 72 households of Rui village of Gorkha and 18 houses of Darchula are in Chinese territory."
