At that time, I had given a hit formula for Indo-Nepal relations, which is Highway, Iway and Transway. I had said at that time that we will build relations between India and Nepal in such a way that our borders do not become an obstacle for us. Today, the Prime Minister of Nepal and I have taken several decisions to make our partnership a super hit.'
