Nepal’s rapper PM Balen Shah winked at India, the dragon is also red in anger, is supporting India, know what is the controversy?
The Balen government of Nepal has expressed strong objection to the route of Mansarovar Yatra. With this, the Lipulekh dispute between India and Nepal has again come into limelight. India and China have agreed to resume the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Lipulekh Pass. The Balen government says that this visit cannot be organized without the consent of Kathmandu, because Lipulekh is a part of Nepal.
Regarding this, the Nepal government has sent a diplomatic note to India as well as China. India has already been rejecting Nepal’s claim. China has also not taken any steps towards accepting Nepal’s situation. Analysts believe that Nepal took such steps on the Lipulekh controversy in the last few years, due to which the matter kept worsening.
what is the controversy
The root of the dispute is the tri-junction of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani, which is part of India and is also controlled by India. Nepal claims this area as its own and cites the Sugauli Treaty of 1816. Nepal says that neither India nor China can trade or travel through Lipulekh without its consent.
India had started resolving the dispute
PM Modi was ready to talk about this during his initial tenure, hence he also visited Nepal in the year 2014. During that time, the foreign secretaries of both the countries were entrusted with the responsibility of talks. However, later such circumstances arose due to which not a single meeting could be held. In May 2020, Nepal’s Oli government took such a step that the situation worsened.
Oli government made a blunder
The Oli government released a map showing these three areas within the borders of Nepal and the Parliament also approved this map. After this, in June 2020, Nepal amended its constitution, so that the map can be included in the national emblem. India strongly opposed this. Nepal’s then Foreign Minister Pradiya Gyawali said while talking to Kathmandu Post that India had asked Nepal not to include the territorial dispute in the constitution. In return, political level talks were proposed but the Oli government did not agree and the amendment was passed with an overwhelming majority.
China’s side
China is also a party in this entire dispute and Nepal’s experience with it is also not good. Kathmandu has repeatedly requested since 2015 not to allow trade or transit through Lipulekh, but Beijing is doing just that. Last year, when Prime Minister Oli went to China, he raised this issue during his meeting with Xi Jinping in Tianjin, but Xi clearly said that Nepal should resolve this issue with India.
Statement of former Nepali diplomat
Former Nepalese diplomat Shambhu Ram Simkhada while talking to Kathmandu Post said that we will meet the Prime Minister of India. Narendra Modi Failed to understand the political wisdom of those who can play an important role in solving this. He said that as Indian politics is becoming more right-wing, Nepal will have to understand this ground reality.

Horrified Wagga residents call for proper sanitation at homeless camp where baby was found dead | Inequality
The tent where a newborn baby was found dead at Wagga beach at the weekend was part of a homeless encampment up to a 15-minute walk away from the nearest public toilets or running water, with residents in a nearby apartment block saying conditions were “worse than a Syrian war camp”.
The tragedy has prompted fury in the community, with residents of Wagga Wagga calling on authorities to take urgent action to make the encampments safe and sanitary.
The 37-year-old mother had been living on the Murrumbidgee riverbank with her partner when she went into labour. On Saturday police were called to the camp where they found one of her newborns had died.
The woman and the other twin were taken to hospital. The woman has been discharged from hospital while the infant – who was in a critical condition on Monday – has been transferred to a hospital in Sydney.
It is unclear why the newborn died.
One resident, who lives along the riverbank encampment but did not want to be named, said the woman, who is Indigenous, had not returned to the camp.
It’s understood that the woman had other children who were not present during the birth and had not been living with the couple in the tent. Her partner was there during the birth.
Homelessness is a growing problem in Wagga, with multiple encampments in the area. Several people working in local social services said the river camp – which includes about 10 tents – was seen as a safer, quieter spot compared with other encampments, with single women, some under 25, living there.
A city councillor, Amelia Parkins, said the larger encampment in town, Wilks Park campground, was well managed, with waste collection and access to bathrooms. At a community meeting on Tuesday night there were calls for the council to offer the same level of amenities to those living in other encampments.
“Council can do that,” Parkins said. “But that would have to be a short-term option, just to assist people with hygiene and sanitation right now.”
The closest public toilets are about a 10- to 15-minute walk away from most of the tents, and are closed overnight. People in the river encampment had been using water from a much closer apartment building until access was restricted.
Parkins said she was investigating whether the council had asked for the water to be restricted after complaints from apartment residents about people from the camp using water.
“Access to clean water is a fundamental human right,” Parkins said. “And something that council should be able to provide.
“That goes for the waste collection as well. You know, council runs all of the waste management.”
When asked if it had asked for the water to be restricted, Wagga Wagga city council said it had been contacted by apartment residents who complained about people “camping on private property, bathing and washing under the taps at that property, and intimidating residents”.
“General advice was given by compliance officers in response to that specific request to secure the public areas of the complex, per the resident’s request,” a spokesperson said. “Council does not manage infrastructure on private property.”
The council said the public amenities at Wagga beach “remain accessible in line with normal operating hours” and it had not been informed about concerns that a woman living on the riverbank was pregnant.
A broader problem
Residents and councillors are calling for more permanent housing solutions, asking the New South Wales government to invest in social housing and to provide more funding for support services.
Homes NSW has worked with the woman’s family for many years and she has had help with both short- and long-term property. The assistance had been relinquished.
“People [living rough] may be offered housing on a short-term basis and that’s a really tricky thing,” Parkins said. “If you’ve set up camp, say, down at the river, to then relocate for one or two weeks, only to then have to go back to the river.”
At a local meeting on Tuesday night, residents were visibly shaken by the tragedy, and outraged that the housing crisis had become so bad that a woman had given birth in a tent.
“Everyone’s pretty distraught that something like this has happened in Wagga,” Parkins said. “There’s a general feeling of hopelessness and helplessness, and a lot of people desperately want to do something but don’t know what to do.”
The NSW housing minister, Rose Jackson, the local state MP, Joe McGirr, and the mayor of Wagga, Dallas Tout, will meet on Thursday to discuss the baby’s death.
The president of Wagga Women’s Health Centre, Vickie Burkinshaw, backed calls for immediate “practical solutions” such as access to clean drinking water.
“There is no sanitation down there,” Burkinshaw said. “So a lot of the camps do gravitate towards where there is sanitation but there’s clearly not enough of it for the number of people that are using it.”
In the long term, she said, the community needed more social homes. The waitlist for social housing in the area was about 700 people, Burkinshaw said, and it could take up to four years for even the most vulnerable to find a place. She said all tiers of government were failing the community.
“Bureaucracy has tried to deal with this for a very long time, and we are just not getting the results,” she said. “We are not getting people off the streets. We are putting more people on to them.”

The company confirmed there is no related-party interest involved in the awarding entity.

California man sentenced for pickaxe murder of disabled teen brother
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A California man was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to the pickaxe murder of his teenage half-brother, who had cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair.
Zuberi Sharp, 26, was sentenced on Tuesday after pleading guilty in March to the second-degree murder of his 15-year-old half-brother, Zayde, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.
He also admitted to several special allegations and aggravating factors, including that he inflicted great bodily injury, that he used a weapon in the commission of the crime and that the victim was vulnerable.
On Dec. 5, 2024, deputies were called to a home on the 400 block of Jeanne Court in Newbury Park shortly after 8 p.m. following his mother’s 911 call from Zayde’s mother, who reported that her son had been struck in the head with an object.

The victim’s mother reported that Sharp had attacked Zayde with a pickaxe inside a shed in the backyard.
The teen’s uncle heard a loud thud and rushed to the shed to check on the two brothers. He observed Sharp standing over Zayde while holding a pickaxe.
Zayde was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.
Meanwhile, Sharp fled the scene and was later found at nearby Newbury Park High School, where deputies took him into custody after receiving reports of a man acting erratically on the football field, authorities said.

The incident forced a lockdown, as student-athletes were on the field when he arrived.
“This sentence reflects the seriousness of a violent and senseless act against a vulnerable victim,” Senior Deputy District Attorney David Russell said in a press release. “While nothing can undo this loss, it ensures the defendant is held accountable and that the victim’s family has been spared the trauma of a trial.”
Investigators never released a motive for the attack, but family members told KTLA they believed Sharp was having a manic episode at the time.

“It’s hard,” Zayde’s mother previously told the outlet at a ceremony to honor her son. “It’s been really hard. Pain every day.”
Sharp is also the son of convicted killer Calvin Sharp, who killed a 6-year-old boy with a meat cleaver in 2007. He pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to life in prison.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Sharp’s legal team. The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office directed inquiries to Tuesday’s press release.
