Nepali students protest in the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal, on June 5, 2026, following a statement by Nepali Prime Minister Balendra Shah amid an ongoing border issue with India. In May, the Prime Minister addressed the parliament, stating that Nepal has also encroached on Indian land, which led to protests from the streets to the parliament. Later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified that Prime Minister Shah's statement referred to a technical concept of ''cross-border occupation.'' Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lok Bahadur Paudel Kshetri explained that the comments relate to boundary pillars, no-man's land (dashgaja), and cross-border land usage. Technical studies indicate areas where land used by Nepal may fall on the Indian side and vice versa. The ministry reiterated that Nepal's official border is defined by the Treaty of Sugauli and noted that areas such as Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura, Kalapani, and Susta remain under incomplete demarcation. It also mentioned that river boundaries and shifting courses have led to situations where citizens of one country may use land on the other side. Technical teams from both Nepal and India are working on tasks such as repairing boundary pillars, monitoring encroachments in no-man's land, and collecting data on cross-border occupation. The ministry reaffirmed Nepal's commitment to resolving boundary issues through diplomatic dialogue based on historical treaties, maps, and agreements.

Mohd Altaf Kohli, a census enumerator and school teacher, uses the House Listing Operations (HLO) application on a smartphone to collect details on housing, available amenities, and living conditions during a door-to-door survey as part of the first phase of India's 16th Census 2027 in a hilly residential area on the outskirts of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 04, 2026. India has launched its first fully digital Census, the 16th Census 2027 exercise, marking the start of what is expected to be the world's largest population count. The census will include caste enumeration for the first time since 1931, providing updated demographic data for policy planning and resource allocation. The $1.24 billion exercise will involve more than three million enumerators and officials surveying an estimated 1.4 billion people over the course of a year. The survey will collect information on household composition, housing conditions, socio-economic status, and access to basic amenities. India's last census, conducted in 2011, recorded a population of 1.21 billion. The country's population is now estimated to have surpassed 1.4 billion, making it the world's most populous nation.
