In the meeting of the National Assembly in the last week of March, Rautahat MP Pooja Choudhary drew the attention of the government saying that after closing the Sulis Gate (water outlet gate) under the dam built by India in the Nepal-India border area at Rautahat during the drought, it is facing a big disaster.

She requested the government to initiate a diplomatic initiative to open the gate of Sulis Gate. This is the same gate installed in the Gaur Dam, which was built unilaterally by Indians to protect its citizens, which inundates the surrounding villages, including Gaur, the headquarters of Rautahat, when the water does not drain during the monsoon.

This is not the first time MPs have drawn the government's attention to Gaur Dam. During the flood, MPs and ministers continue to make statements. The eyes of parliamentarians and ministers who come to inspect the flooding fall on the Sulis gate. India has verbally agreed to open the floodgates to allow water to escape, but has been reneging. I don't know what happened before. Now I am constantly pestering the government to find a way out," MP Choudhary said, "If the government is interested, the problem can be solved through diplomatic initiatives. I am cautious about this.' Indian has been closing the Sulis gate of the dam during the rainy season. This is the reason why the headquarter Gaur has been inundated due to lack of drainage.

In 2032, after India built a 15-feet-high 31-kilometer-long dam in the border area to protect its land, Bairagania, and other cities of Bihar, flooding started towards Nepal. Gaur Municipality Mayor Shambhu Sah said that India had verbally agreed to open the Sulis gate, which was built to drain the water in the dam at that time. On 27th June 2076, Gaur area was inundated as the water did not drain after continuous rain. At that time, the then chief district officer Kiran Thapa called the then chief DM of Sitamarhi district in India, Ranjit Kumar Singh, to open the gate of the dam. He said that he informed the Ministry of Home Affairs after Singh ignored his calls. Sulis Gate has been closing the 3 gates of the dam built by India in the eastern region of Bairagania. If the water level in Nepali area is high, the door should be opened as an emergency. A team of Indian Border Security Force (SSB) stays at the dam with weapons for 24 hours to ensure that the Nepalese will demolish the dam and open the Sulis gate after Gaur is inundated. Until 2050 years ago, the gates were opened after the water stagnated in Gaur. Mayor Sah said that it is now closed.

During flooding, the armed police call the rubber boats and trained rescue teams from disaster management Kurintar to Rautahat and keep them on alert. During the monsoon, the water levels in the Wagmati and Lalbakaia rivers rise and enter the headquarters of Gaur, and the water does not have an outlet. Due to Indian dams, it freezes and inundates. Prison inmates also go to the roof to save their lives. In July 2077, in a coordination meeting with the Indian counterpart at the Radhakrishna Bhavan in Motihari, the headquarters of East Champaran district in Bihar, India, the then Chief District Officer of Rautahat, Indradev Yadav, proposed to Kapil Ashok, the Chief (DM) of Motihari district in India, to open the Sulis Gate to avoid inundation during drought. The Indian side assured that it would happen.

Security officials of both countries have been holding a coordination meeting to solve internal problems and activities including crime in the border area. During the time of the Panchayat government, Indians built a dam on the border. At that time, there was a verbal agreement to open the Sulis Gate and drain the water when the settlements in the border area were flooded. Locals have been protesting since India unilaterally started increasing and expanding the level of the dam built by violating the international treaty agreement.
