KATHMANDU: Police have arrested 11 cadres of Greater Nepal Rastrabadi Morcha from the premises of the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu on Friday.

They were arrested while demonstrating in front of Indian Embassy against the Sugauli Treaty which was inked between Nepal and India 200 years ago.

The arrested are Morcha's Chairperson Phadindra Nepal, Vice-Chair BN Sharma, member Chhabi Panthi, among others.

They chanted various slogans as '"We don't abide by Sugauli Treaty", "Return the encroached land" among others.

"We want this issue be resolved through political means. Hence, the British government should mediate with India for the resolution," said Morcha's Chairperson Nepal.

He added that they would continue their demonstration until the issue was resolved.

The Sugauli treaty was signed between the then East India Company of British government and Nepal on March 4, 1816. Nepal lost one third of its territory due to the treaty.
