Lalit Jha, Kamala. The story of conspiracy by China in Kamala river is getting interesting day by day. This story of conspiracy with Kamala is being an example that How is China attracting people to itself ?

China’s construction company entangles the common people on the name of development on the other hand by giving bribe or various kinds of inducements to the politicians and leaders it gets illegal approval by flouting the law of Nepal. Along with this on the name of development, the land of Nepal is also used against India. It is often well known that in the current international geopolitical context, both India-Nepal international border and relations have become very sensitive, especially in the context of tension in India-China relations. In such a situation, it is not at all incomprehensible that why China’s deep interest has been awakened in Kamala near Indo-Nepal border areas ? The story behind the license obtained for storage and other purposes at Kamala by the China Construction Company, China Railway No. 2 Engineering Group Co., Ltd. is  more interesting.

China’s policy and strategy

This work has been done under a well thought out strategy. China’s interest in Kamala started two and a half years ago in the December month, when a team of scientists studying rivers associated with China’s L.N.E.U University came to study the Kamala River watershed areas. According to experts monitoring the activities of China, the study of this area was done by the team of Chinese scientist Dr. Bang and Dr. Fang.  The surprising thing in this is that when permission was obtained by the Ministry of Industry, Forest and Tourism of the State 2 for storage in the Kamala River by China, then policy corruption was also resorted to. Before the permission was given by the then minister Ram Naresh Rai, no study and discussion of any kind was done, although it is necessary to do so. Before giving permission to exploit any river or forest, it is necessary to evaluate its effect, but it was not done ? Bikram Yadav, the coordinator of Kamla Bachao Abhiyan, says that the way the permission has been given to exploit the Kamala river, flouting the law of Nepal, it is quite objectionable and it was done with the aim of giving illegitimate benefits to the contractor. The local people have been entangled in the false illusion of development in the name of road school construction by the contractor of Chinia Company, it is a betrayal of the common man.

Himalini’s fear turned out to be true-

This apprehension expressed by Himalini has proved to be true, in which it was said that the real purpose of the Chinese company is not just for storage in Kamala, but its exploitation so that Kamala can be eradicated.

Last week an engineer working in a Chinese company and a Chinese employee had reached the Secretary of the Ministry of Forest Industry and Tourism of the State Government and were requesting him to allow them to set up a crusher plant in Kamala. Our apprehension has been proved true by this handiwork of China Company that the real purpose of China is not development but destruction.

China’s presence in Kamala is a security challenge for India.

The space allotted to China is also a very sensitive issue from geopolitical and strategic point of view. Geographically, the area of ​​Nanda Baba Community Forest Area is surrounded by mountains and it is the junction of four important border districts of Nepal Dhanusha, Sirha Udaipur and Sindhuli. Indian security agencies fear that this geographically important place can be misused by China. If China puts a ground station of its beidou navigation system in this sensitive area, then major security challenges can arise for India.
The decision of the Ministry of Industries, Forests and Tourism is being questioned because despite the availability of sufficient vacant land at dozens of places for storage near the East West Highway, why is the storage center being built in the Kamala river. ?

Local people protest against Chinese company—

Here the protest against the work being done by the local people in Kamala for the wrong purpose has started. Bikram Yadav the convener of Kamala Bachao Abhiyan an organization working on Kamala conservation has told Himalini that we are ready to go from the High Court to the Supreme Court and at any cost there should be no excavation and exploitation of river-borne materials from Kamala. we will do whatever it takes to save it.

In the midst of strong opposition from the local people and organizations against the conspiracies of the Chinese company in the Kamala river, the important question is whether the Chinese conspiracy in Kamala fails or succeeds? Now it remains to be seen whether the license given to the Chinese construction company by the government of State 2 is canceled or not ?
