As he could not reach Kathmandu, he submitted a letter of attention regarding the operation of Tiptala crossing through Mingma Dandu Sherpa, a member of the village executive and an alternate central member of the Maoist center.
This border, which was closed after the corona infection was seen in Wuhan, China, has not been opened yet. The girls, who could not go to Maitighar due to the non-opening of the border, and the local people who could not export materials such as carpets, churpi, etc., are demanding the opening of the border again and again. Ward president Lama has requested through a letter that the contract will last for twelve months as the road network is connected.
China has kept Dolpa, Mugu, Gorkha, Dolakha and Bajhang as temporary border along with Taplejung. It is understood that this route runs only from May to October. For some years due to climate change As the season of snowfall has changed and after connecting with the motorway, the village should be made to run for twelve months because even if it snows, the ward chairman Lama insists. "Earlier there was only a footpath, there was a schedule according to that," Cheten said, "Now that the vehicles are connected by road, our request is that the previous schedule should be changed and the government should inform China about that."
Ward president Cheten says that the first request is to open the border and the second is to make it last for twelve months.
In Ming, Dandu said that he had delivered Ward's letter to the Foreign Minister. Dandu said that he (Foreign Minister) is taking initiatives from the Chinese Embassy in Nepal and has assured to talk to China as well.
