Nepal's parties concerned over deal with India on airport check posts

Nepal's four major political parties have urged the government not to implement the recent agreement signed between Nepali and Indian authorities regarding the upgrade of the immigration system at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and setting up immigration check posts at borders, cross-party leaders said in Kathmandu Sunday.
A meeting of UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM) concluded that interim election government is not authorized to take such decisions which have long-term implications.
A home secretary-level meeting between the two countries last month had reached an agreement regarding the upgrade of the immigration system at the country's only international airport in the capital and set up Indian immigration offices at the two border cities of Pashupatinagar of Illam district and Lumbini.
