Kathmandu, 3 April: In spite of the government’s announcement of opening of the two trade passes with China — Rasuagadhi and Tatopani, they are not yet come into operation.
The high-level committee for controlling coronavirus outbreak coordinated by DPM Ishwor Pokhrel had decided to open the two trade passes immediately.
However, due to lack of preparation from Nepal side, it was delayed in operation of the trade passes, according to Suman Dahal, director, Customs Department.
Dahal said that an understanding was developed between Nepal and China for resuming the trade passes only after developing mechanism of conducting coronavirus check-up on drivers and workers carrying goods through the passes.
