ANI (May 19) reported that the Nepalese Home Ministry had reported the removal of border pillars in the Daulkha district in village-Vigu of District-Daulkha to  Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to EU Reporter, the China-Nepal border has historically been a controlled border system, established by a mutual agreement between the two nations in 1960, which subsequently led to the formation of the 1961 border treaty, with the construction of the pillars of demarcation.  Post the 1961 treaty, the boundary line between Nepal and China has witnessed several changes mainly including the erection of 76 permanent border pillars. China is now trying to change the status quo in its favour.
