The Rautahat Industry and Commerce Association has participated on Tuesday in solidarity with the sit-in started by Rautahat businessmen demanding the establishment of 'plant quarantine' at the Chief Customs Office. Pandit Prasad Jaiswal, president of the association, along with general secretary Rabindranath Gopali, member of the working committee, expressed solidarity by sitting on a dharna at the main gate of Gaur Customs.
Jaiswal said that since there is no plant quarantine at the main customs, the traders of the district are forced to bring goods through Birganj and Sarlahi checkpoints to pressurize the government to arrange it immediately.
The problem here is not from now. The state has become so insensitive that a sit-in movement is necessary to solve the problems of the businessmen,' he said, 'We have full support and solidarity with the demands put forward by our businessmen.' Businessmen claim that 50 percent of the revenue is collected from this title when importing and exporting agricultural products including food grains from Gaur Customs.
There is no 'Plant Quarantine' in Gaur Customs which was established in the year 2033. Until 2076, when the businessmen here imported food, fruits, vegetables, etc. from India, they used to keep the sample at Gaur customs and send the samples from here to Birganj. After receiving the report that it was correct, the customs would collect the revenue. Chief Customs Officer Amarendra Kumar Singh said that more than 50 percent of revenue was collected from agricultural products at that time. After the year 2076, the businessmen became angry after the process of sending the agricultural products to Birganj was also stopped. About 60 percent of agricultural products used to come from India in customs. It's stopped now. Businessman Kaushal Sah told that even when he pleaded for the establishment of quarantine, he was not heard. The businessmen have drawn attention through a memorandum of peaceful dharna and demonstration till 15th Baisakh and an indefinite lock at the customs office from 16th.
The businessmen of the district import food grains, fruits, potatoes, onions, vegetables and other goods from India through Birganj and Sarlahi crossings. In this way, the transportation cost is higher when it is brought by a detour route.
