Nepal's economic advisor, Chiranjibi Nepal, recently resigned following controversy surrounding the government's decision to include a disputed map on the new 100-rupee banknotes. This map reflects Nepal's territorial claims in areas currently administered by India. The move has strained relations between the two countries, with India expressing discontent. Civil society groups in Nepal also criticised Mr. Nepal's public comments opposing the map's inclusion, calling them irresponsible and damaging to national interests.
