For last two months, the Indo-Nepal border points have been blocked. While Nepal has been accusing its southern neighbour of imposing an unofficial blockade, India has been claiming that the problem existed due to political dissatisfaction among Madhesis of Nepal. It has been urging Nepal to seek the political solution through dialogues.
