Nepal has printed a new Rs 100 currency note featuring a map that includes disputed territories with India - Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura, and Kalapani. The decision was made by the council of ministers, chaired by PM Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda, following a proposal from Nepal Rastra Bank. The updated map was approved in meetings on April 25 and May 2. The new currency note has been authorized for release, despite India's objections to the inclusion of these territories in Nepal's map. This move is likely to escalate tensions between the two nations.
