WATER DISPUTE TURNS VIOLENT - NEPAL

Dispute over water usage between Nepali and Indian farmers has taken a heavy toll. The irrigation canal which brings water from Thute River in Thori VDC in Parsa District, central Nepal, was being used by both the farmers but conflict sparked up after the Indian farmers vehemently demolished the canal used by Nepali farmers. Furthermore, the situation worsened after Nepali farmers staged protest against this dubious move. Border Security Force of India has extended their support to their Nepali counter parts to stop the violence.
