Nepal has announced the printing of a new Rs 100 currency note featuring a map that includes disputed territories of Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura, and Kalapani, also claimed by India. Nepal's council of ministers, led by Prime Minister Pushpakamal Dahal 'Prachanda', approved the decision to redesign the banknote and replace the old map.
