Days after Nepal's Ministry of Education launched a controversial secondary school reference book on the country’s borders and territories, it is now halting its distribution since it was found to have a number of factual errors and “inappropriate” content.

The Cabinet on Thursday directed the Ministry of Education to halt the distribution and not to print any more copies of the textbook following serious reservations from the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“We concluded that distribution of the erroneous book should be stopped,” Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Shiva Maya Tumbahangphe told the Post referring to the Cabinet meeting. “It wasn’t a right move to publish a book on sensitive issues with so many wrong facts.”
