Bahrbise-Tatopani road section (26 km) Koplan section has been flooded and Tatopani border has been blocked. The Kodari Highway connecting the checkpoint which was blocked due to 15 feet flood in Bhotekoshi rural municipality-2 Koplang due to rain since Wednesday evening, could not be operational till Friday.

Hundreds of containers carrying materials worth crores of rupees have been stopped in the Liping market area due to traffic disruption. Kumar Shrestha, Ward President of Bhotekoshi-2, said that road repair work is going on in this area from Miteri Bridge to West Tatopani Bazaar.

He said that although the small vehicles were able to move easily, the businessmen at the checkpoint were frustrated because there was no condition for heavy containers to cross. "Work is being done to repair and operate the road, but due to the ongoing process of flooding, it looks dangerous for heavy vehicles to move around, because of the road, the border has become blocked," he said.

After the earthquake of 2072 and the subsequent floods, the roads are dilapidated every day before the monsoon, and there is a dire situation among the locals. There is no other alternative route connecting Bahrbise and Kathmandu. From Wednesday only 14/15 container shipping from China and Kodari market have been stopped. Buddharaj Basnet, President of Sindhupalchok Industry and Commerce Association said that due to the road being blocked near Kodari, the container that was returning after delivering the goods got stranded in this area.

"While China has been leaving few containers under many pretexts, now local businessmen have become more vulnerable when the containers stop on the road due to the road, it is a very sad thing to happen before the rainy season," he said . Earlier, after the Belibridge was swept away by the flood, the unpaved roads in Liping and Larcha were forced to be dangerous. At present, the belay bridge has been connected to Liping and the work of placing the belay bridge in Larcha has been progressed.

Due to the late arrival of the goods, especially due to the road blockage due to the floods and the hot water, the traders here are facing the problem of expensive transportation. Earlier, hundreds of businessmen fled from their profession due to bank interest, warehouse rent and employee salary due to the long time the container was stuck on the road due to the road . Besides, since China is constructing about 7 km of road and tunnel leading to Khasa and here, there is a delay in the delivery of containers from time to time.

Four years after the earthquake, the border was opened to allow only limited containers to enter the Chinese route system for one-way import as cargo. Surya Kafle, Information Officer of Tatopani Dry Port and Customs Office, said that due to the road, the border has become an uncomfortable environment. "The dilapidated road seems to be a problem, the target of 21.82 billion revenue collection in this financial year has been almost achieved, 1.84 billion revenue has been collected in last December alone," he said .
