Nepali Foreign Minister Sahana Pradhan has said that the Nepali government wants to hold top- level talks with the Indian government to resolve the perennial problem of flooding, which has been affecting people living in border areas, a leading Nepali website, nepalnews.com, reported on Saturday.
After her meeting with Indian ambassador Shiv Shankar Mukherjee here on Friday, Pradhan said, "Not only the joint committee level or the district/state level, we should hold talks at top-level at central level."
Talking to reporters, Pradhan said that the two countries should cooperate with each other to end the perennial problem of flooding.
According to the website's report, dams and embankments constructed in Indian territory are blamed for flooding in Nepali side while Indian authorities blame untamed rivers coming from Nepal for causing devastation on their people.
