- By Our Reporter

India has of late started exhibiting his elderly brotherly attitude against Nepal. After snapping a Tuin (ware bridge) through which Jaya Singh Dhami of Nepal crossing the Mahakali River on July 30, Indian helicopter­s have illegally flown over the sky of Nepal.

The Indian Sashatra Seema Bal (SSB) the border guarding force of India, resorted to the heinous crime by cutting the Tuin and leading to the disappeara­nce of Dhami in the Mahakali River. The Indian side has not apologized for the crime. Moreover, Nepal has delayed formally protesting against Indian bullying. Only over five weeks after the SSB committed the crime in the Mahakali, the government of Nepal sent a diplomatic note to India on Sunday seeking informatio­n and investigat­ion into the July 30 Darchula incident in which Dhami, disappeare­d into the Mahakali after SSB man snapped a Tuin.

The government has recently sent two diplomatic notes to India, one on the missing of Jaya Singh Dhami, a youth from Khaldang of Byas Rural Municipali­ty in Darchula district, and another on the violation of internatio­nal law by Indian choppers.

Dhami, 33, had gone missing after he fell into the mightly Mahakali River after the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), the border guarding force of India, allegedly cut the cable while he was crossing it. According to a report of the probe committee formed by the Home Ministry, the SSB personnel were present at the site at the time of the accident. Responding to the demand made by the report, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had written to the Indian government through its embassy in Kathmandu. The notes were said to be handed over to the embassy a couple of days ago. A Foreign Ministry officials said that the notes were sent to the southern neighbour as per the recommenda­tion of the report.

Meanwhile, India has been claiming it is not officially aware of the incident.
