As in previous years, this time too, the plan was to bring 1,500 Khasibokas from different districts and about 300 Changras from Mustang and sell them cheaper than the market price.
The government-owned food management and trading company has decided not to sell subsidized khasiboka and changra this time. Due to the blockade of the main road along with the political situation after the Jen-Ji movement, food has decided not to sell discounted khasibo this time.
Like last year, this time too, the plan was to bring 1,500 Khasibokas and 300 Changras from Mustang and sell them cheaper than the market price. It has been decided to give a discount of Rs 10 per kg on these four-legged goods,'' said Bhim Bahadur Thapa, head of the sales department of the food management and trading company.
'But the latest political developments have broken contact with the rural municipality. The condition of the road is also not good, that's why we have decided not to sell discounted khasibo this time, he added.
food had also opened advance online booking to sell khasiboka and changra this time. But the process was halted when social media was shut down. After that, the Zen-G movement lost contact with the local level.
'From collection of khasibo to transportation, local level cooperation is needed, but due to the recent breakdown of communication, it is not possible to sell subsidized khasibo this year,' said Thapa, 'When advance online booking was opened, 40 people booked, now we are refunding the money.'
In the absence of government intervention in the market, businessmen have been selling khasibo at arbitrary prices. Food was being sold at a discount to discourage it. This time, food has said that it cannot bring and sell Khasiboka.
