Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his Nepalese counterpart Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” in New Delhi on Thursday, June 1, 2023, and inaugurated the e-plaque for the Kurtha-Bijalpura stretch of the Indian Railways. The Indian Railway cargo train from Bathnaha in Bihar to the Nepal Custom yard was jointly flagged off by the two leaders.

The integrated checkpoints, which were constructed with India’s support and are located at Rupaidiha in India and Nepalgunj in Nepal, were jointly opened by PM Modi and Dahal. The integrated checkpoints at Sonauli in India and Bhairahawa in Nepal were also unveiled by the two heads of state.

“The religious and cultural ties between India and Nepal are very old and strong. To further strengthen this beautiful link, Prime Minister Prachanda ji and I have decided that projects related to Ramayana Circuit should be expedited. We will keep working to take our relationship to the height of the Himalayas. And in this spirit, we will resolve all the issues, be it boundary related or any other issue,” PM Modi said.
