Nepal has introduced a new 100 Rupee note featuring a revised map that includes Indian territories of Kalapani, Lipulekh, and Limpiyadhura. This move has sparked controversy and drawn objections from Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, who criticized Nepal for taking unilateral measures. The disputed territories have been a point of contention between India and Nepal, with both countries claiming them as their own. The new currency note has further strained the diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries.
