    ANSWER THE MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRI S.M. KRISHNA)

    (a) to (e) India-Nepal border is demarcated by main/sub border pillars and riverine border is demarcated at the mid-stream of the rivers flowing along India-Nepal border. Due to various reasons, including change of course of rivers, flash floods, soil erosion and human involvement, the boundary pillars are damaged/washed away in some places. No encroachment on No Man’s Land has been reported by Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) since their deployment along the India-Nepal border in 2001.
