Since last June 24, the flood in Lhende river swept away the bridge connecting the crossing, the Rasuwagadhi crossing has not been able to be opened easily. On the other hand, the traders who have turned towards Tatopani crossing are also upset because the landslide barrier on the road connecting Tatopani crossing of Arani highway has not been opened.
According to Kumar Shrestha, Chairman of Bhotekosi Rural Municipality-2, the Tatopani crossing has been blocked due to the road because of the landslide in the eco section. "It's been a week since the crossing has been closed, and the settlements on Iko and elsewhere are at risk," he said. "It's the same in Koplan and Ghate." We have become confused while trying to protect the border easily and the settlement.'
Due to the landslide that happened at a place called Iko located in Bahrbise-Tatopani section, traffic has been operated only for a few days in a month . The landslide is about 2 km from the Liping Miteri bridge towards Kathmandu and 4 km from the customs gate towards the border . Despite running dozers day after day to open the traffic, as the possibilities are getting less and less, the businessmen who are in a rush to bring goods for Dasaintihar have become disappointed.
Due to the closure of transportation, there has been a direct impact on business transactions, markets and consumers. Tatopani Customs has become deserted as dozens of containers of goods have to be imported daily in the run-up to Dasain. Due to the closure of Rasuwa, it was estimated that the import from Tatopani will double this time . But this time, since the goods brought for Dasain could not be brought to the federal capital, it is almost certain that there will be a shortage in the country.
On the one hand, the rain has made it difficult to open the road, on the other hand, the locals have protested saying that the village is about to flood. Locals have asked to work only after the rain stops on Thursday . "Through this, there is a possibility that the goods imported by the traders after spending crores of rupees targeting Dussein will not be sold, the goods brought by the traders to Kathmandu are sent to different cities," said Buddharaj Basnet, President of Sindhupalchok Industry and Commerce Association. But even though Dasain is approaching, goods worth crores are still stuck on the road. He informed that the traders who bring those goods into Nepal are confused.
Earlier, the Tatopani crossing, which was opened after almost three weeks, lasted for four days . At that time, 50/60 containers of fruits and festival preparation materials entered Nepal, while 30/35 empty containers entered China from there. Currently, 14/1500 containers are parked in expensive warehouse parking in Lhasa, Sigatse, Nyalam, China. On the other hand, 6/7 hundred containers are stored in Kerung.
More than a dozen container leaping and Kodari markets have come to a standstill after the Eco Landslide. During this period, businessmen have suffered losses due to the rotting of millions of worth of fruits. Even before, fruits and garlic started rotting in containers and were carried by porters, because of the road, the checkpoint was not easy,' said businessman Sharda Prasad Parajuli.
