Summary:

Local people want the inner line shifted to Jauljibi," said Chala. "Borders of Dharchula tehsil touches China and Nepal, and the tehsil is sensitive from the security point of view. Dharchula: Dharchula Bacho Samiti -- an umbrella organisation comprising Anwal community, Rang Kalyan Sansthan, Rang Youth Forum, Diling Darma Seva Samiti, Akhil Bhartiya Yuva Sangathan and a few other local bodies -- is on a protest demanding the shifting of the 'inner line' from Chhiyalekh near China Border to Jauljibi. "Dharchula tehsil starts from Jauljabi. Before 1998, the whole tehsil was inside the 'inner line' and outsiders, other than locals, needed special permits to go to Dharchula and had no right to stay there permanently," said Dinesh Chala, vice-president of Dharchula Bacho Samiti..
