It holds a pivotal role in overseeing activities such as the maintenance and reconstruction of boundary pillars, crucial for delineating and preserving the territorial integrity of both nations.ĭespite its importance, the BWG has not convened since August 2019, when it last met in India. This joint body was entrusted with the responsibility of addressing key issues related to the shared boundary between the two countries. The Boundary Working Group was formed during the inaugural visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Kathmandu in 2014. Despite the significance of this joint initiative, the BWG has not convened since August 2019, prompting Nepal to seek India’s cooperation in resuming discussions.
The BWG was created with the aim of overseeing crucial tasks related to the construction, restoration, and repair of boundary pillars, including the clearance of no-man’s land, in addition to other technical responsibilities.
In a bid to address longstanding boundary issues, Nepal has formally urged India to convene a meeting of the Boundary Working Group (BWG), a joint body established by the governments of Nepal and India in 2014.
