evidence: The ministry also reminded the Indian government that Nepal has consistently maintained that as per the Sugauli Treaty (1816), all the territories east of Kali (Mahakali) River, including Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipu Lekh, belong to Nepal. [...] In his address to the House of Representatives of Nepal, Nepal's Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali said that 1816 Treaty of Sugauli that Nepal entered with British colonial rulers determined the country's western border with India. According to him, Lipu Lekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura are sovereign Nepali territories as per the treaty and India should respect to Nepal's sovereignty and territorial integrity. [...] In November 2019, India released its updated political map incorporating Nepal's Kalapani area within Indian borders. Nepal had strongly opposed to the Indian map and urged New Delhi for holding talks on the border issues by sending a diplomatic note to the Indian External Affairs Ministry. However, India did not give response to Nepal's call for having dialogue. Rather, India insisted that Kalapani area lies within Indian territory.
