It has been difficult to walk in New Road, Asan, Mahabuddha and other commercial centers for the past few days. The shop is crowded with people since morning. Because Dasain has already started. In a few days, there will be Dasain Phulpati.

Now, along with the general public, traders are also busy shopping in the commercial center. Traders also come to the trading center to buy goods from wholesale shops and sell them at retail. But at this time, traders are not so satisfied because there are not enough goods in the market.

With the arrival of the festival, the market has become more busy, the shops have become more crowded. General Secretary of Himalayan Border Commerce Association Ramchandra Parajuli said, "The common people have started buying the goods targeted for Dasain, but the goods have not arrived in the market as expected. Parajuli said that the goods intended for the festival have been stopped at the checkpoint.' He said that although there is a possibility of opening the Tatopani border crossing, there is no immediate possibility of Rasuwa. "We have also informed the new cabinet, even if we have been assured that the housework is being done to bring it into operation, the possibility of Rasuwa opening is low," said Parajuli.

Businessmen say - about 50 percent of the goods needed during the festival are stopped at the border, the demand for domestic goods is wide as they do not come from China, but there is a problem due to lack of raw materials. After Dasain, common people have come for shopping. But due to the lack of goods, business did not happen as expected," said a businessman of the association who did not want to be named. "When the Kerung and Tatopani ports were closed, some big traders brought goods by ship . Their business has increased . But there was no business of small traders, because new clothes and goods did not come. About 90 percent of small traders have problems paying rent. It was hoped that there would be business during Dasain, but all the goods were stopped at the border, said the businessman.

Hemlal Kharal, president of the National Trade Association, also said that the main problem in the market is the availability of goods. There is no shortage of goods in the market, but new goods are stopped at all the checkpoints. This has disappointed all the businessmen," said Chairman Kharal, "compared to last year, about 50 percent of new goods could not come in." About 500 Chinese containers have been stopped in Tatopani and Kerung. According to the association, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam and some goods coming from the ship are holding the market. After the goods brought for Dasain are stopped at the customs point, it has been analyzed that the market price will be expensive . But the businessman claims that this is not the case. They say that when Chinese goods are brought from the eastern border, the price has only increased. Naresh Katuwal, the founding president of the Nepal National Business Federation, said that business has been satisfactory for the past two/four days. Business is good for a week for Dasain. But due to the landslide, the goods have been stopped at the border . "Nepali products have got good business because goods are not coming from China," Katuwal said, "Although the business of Nepali goods is good, lack of raw materials has created a problem." But the Federation says that the indigenous industrialists are facing problems due to lack of indigenous raw materials. There is a lot of demand for fancy goods. But we could not provide the goods, because the raw materials have been stopped at all the checkpoints," said Rudraprasad Neupane of the Shoe Manufacturers Association of Nepal. He claims that the market price has decreased due to the recent competition in indigenous shoes.
