"We have seen reports of obstructions at various entry-exit points at the India-Nepal border. The reported obstructions are due to unrest, protests and demonstrations on the Nepalese side, by sections of their population. As was already said on Sept. 21, 2015, our freight forwarders and transporters had voiced complaints about the difficulties they are facing in movement within Nepal and their security fears, due to the prevailing unrest," said the spokesman.
"We would reiterate that issues facing Nepal are political in nature. Nepalese leadership needs to address the causes underlying the present state of confrontation credibly and effectively. Issues of differences should be resolved and institutionalized with broad-based ownership and acceptance," he said, adding that " we do hope the situation will ease at the earliest."
India earlier denied it has handed a list of amendments to Nepal`s constitution to Nepalese authorities, amid increasing criticism in Nepal of its policy towards the Himalayan nation.
