By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Jan 14: Nepali Congress has objected to the construction of the road by India in the Lipu Lek area.

General Secretary duo of the Nepali Congress, Gagan Thapa and Bishwa Prakash Sharma, issued a statement to this effect on Friday.

In the 'Views of the Nepali Congress in Lipu Lek incident' issued by them, the general secretary duo asked India to immediately stop the road construction in the Nepali territory as Lipu Lek, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani area is Nepal's territory.
