At long last the last impediment to the implementation of the Land Boundary Agreement and the related Protocols has been removed.

The people living in the enclaves had no clear identity so far. They enjoyed none of the basic amenities and facilities such as schools, hospitals, etc.

THE unanimous passage of the Land Boundary Agreement Bill in both the Houses of the Indian Parliament is a historic development.

THE NDA government's 'neighbour first' policy received further boost in the recent past. From taking a lead in operationalising the rescue plan in Nepal to the passage of the long pending landmark Land Boundary Agreement (LBA), the signature determination of the government's intention to boost India's neighbourhood policy is apparent.

BNP thanks Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his government, and leaders of different political parties who were involved in passage of the Land Boundary Agreement bill.
