Khatima: The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) prevented few Nepalese citizens from trying to encroach no man's land at Tanajkpur in Champawat district along the Indo-Nepal border on Wednesday. According to sources, the Nepalese citizens- some of them were reportedly 'drunk' attempted to put up a wire-fencing by barricading the area near to the pillar number 811 yesterday afternoon.
SSB and police officials reached the incident spot upon learning of the situation and convinced the citizens to return. Members of the Armed Police Force (APF) also rushed the spot and tried to stop the citizens, who were initially reluctant, from barricading the area. However, after repeated attempts, SSB and APF forces were able to stop the citizens.
A meeting will be held between SSB and APF on Thursday to discuss the matter in detail.
The area near Pillar 811 is a disputed land and India and Nepal have been locked in bitter disputes regarding its ownership. The area, which has been declared as 'No Man's land' does not permit any construction work or related activities.
