India's official documents show that Limpiyadhura is origin of Kali River Kathmandu, 22 May: The Government of India's Technical Report of Garhwal Kumaon area published by the Indian Government's press in 1911 AD clearly states that Kuthi-Yankti is the 'true source' of the Kali River (Mahakali River). The Kuthi-Yankthi originates from Joling Kang (gang), which is also known as Limpiyadhura, according to the official documents. The report, published by Allahabad, Superintendent, Government Press, on page number 4 states that the Kuthi river has a south-easterly course to the junction. "After the junction, the united stream turns gently towards the south-west and pursues a course nearly at right angle to the water-parting ridge," it states further. Historian Dr Ramesh Dhungel, who has made an extensive study about the Nepal's border with India and China, argues that the description of the Kali River in India's own technical report further substantiates the position of Nepal that the origin of the Kali River is in Limpiyadhura and therefore the territories east of the Kali river naturally belong to Nepal. "This serves as irrefutable evidence to prove that Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipu Lekh are Nepal's territory as per the Treaty of Sugauli. The description of Kali made in the Indian government's official document provides evidence that Kuti-Yangti is actually the Kali river. The river has its origin in Limpiyadhura," he said. Dr. Dhungel also urged Indian government officials and media persons to stop misinterpreting the origin of the Kali river and align their interpretation based on what researchers and technical experts of those days have defined the true source of Kali river. "This has to be understood properly. This has been distorted and misinterpreted over the years and an unknown small stream is being shown by Indian friends these days as the source of Kali river," he said. "This should be corrected according to their own original records." (My Republica) People’s News Monitoring Service
