Doklam standoff stalls plan to remeasure Mt Everest's height
The Doklam standoff has reportedly stalled Survey of India's (SoI) plans of remeasuring Mount Everest in collaboration with Nepalese authorities. SoI wanted to eliminate the doubts raised by international scientific community that the earthquake on April 25, 2015 could have changed the height of the peak. SoI, however, is still awaiting a nod from the Nepalese side on its plan.
