Containers carrying Dasain material stopped at Khasa and Nyalam

According to Tatopani Dry Port and Customs Office, 93 containers belonging to Namaste, Silk, Rakhema and other transport companies were stopped at Khasa and Nyalam in Chinese regions. Among them are 70 tailor containers carrying materials targeted for Dasain. "It is not much time for Dasain, dozens of traders like us have started to pay when the goods brought by the traders reach the capital on time," said businessman Kapil Pakhrin.

In other parking lots including Nyalm, the daily rent of the container is about 1,000 Chinese yuan. Among them, 23 containers stopped at Nyalam area are carrying fruits. "The goods of some containers have started to rot, one Chinese container is equivalent to three Nepali containers, while some of the tellers carrying apples have not been able to come far because they are too long," he said.

A few days ago, Dayanand KC, the outgoing Chief Customs Officer of Tatopani Dry Port and Customs Office, who came to inspect the reconstruction of Khasa and Nyalam areas in China, said that he requested China's Zhangmu Customs about the problem of the container being stopped. China has demolished 50 percent of old buildings with the goal of making Khasa a smart city within 3 years. For that, he said, the speed of construction of structures like roads and tunnels has been accelerated. Kamal Kumar Bhattarai has replaced KC as the head of Tatopani Dry Port and Customs Office on Sunday. He said that he understands all these problems. "There, from August 30 to September 3, due to the slope work of the tunnel, the containers stuck on the road will not be able to enter Khasa for a few days. If the Chinese container hot water is delayed, the price will be more expensive. When the parking fare, food, lunch and the bank interest to be paid are added, it becomes expensive for the consumer,' he said, 'businessmen have to wait for a lot of goods during the coming decade.' Ishwar Guvaju said. "There is a similar complaint that the container was stopped because the Chinese customs delayed sending the goods, the container was stopped because the tunnel was being built between Nyalam and Khasa, it also happened because of the lack of a place to turn the goods coming from the Chinese city, we are trying to solve this problem," said Guvaju.
