Dehradun: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday confirmed that the road built by the Border Road Organisation in Lipulekh was very much in Indian territory. Mr Singh said Indo-Nepal ties are not ordinary, and both countries are bound together by ‘roti-beti’ and no power in the world can break it. The Raksha Mantri further said, if there is any misunderstanding between India and Nepal due to the road, it will be sorted out through dialogue.
The Defence Minister said the link road to Lipulekh built by BRO will significantly shorten the time taken for the Kailash Mansarovar yatra.
He was addressing the BJP workers of Uttarakhand through a virtual rally.
