Janakpur Cigarette Factory Limited (Jachukali) located in Janakpur, which manufactures Yak, Rhinoceros and Deurali brand cigarettes, has been closed since June 20, 2070. Apart from the factory building and the main administrative building on 8 bighas of Jachukali, which is 33 bighas and 9 acres of land, the area currently houses the headquarters and residence of the Madhesh government.

In Jachukali's own school, there is the Office of the Chief Justice, and in the hospital building, an armed police unit has been deployed for security . The bank building is being used by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
After the regional structure, the government designated Janakpur as the temporary capital of 7 provinces and not only designated Janakpur as the location of the then province 2, it was also allowed to use the housing area of Jachukali .
The then Home Minister Bimalendra Nidhi decided to bring Jachukali under the District Administration Office Dhanusha and allow the state government to use it. Congress leader Nidhi has come to Janakpur a few days ago and warned that they are trying to privatize Jachukali. I'm hearing about personalization now. I am also interested in the Minister of Industry,' said leader Nidhi, 'If Jachukali is privatized, there will be a movement.' He also claimed that Jachukali will be the headquarters of the Madhesh state government. "When I was the Home Minister, I decided to use Jachukali for the headquarters of the Madhesh state government," said leader Nidhi, "I have also told the Chief Minister that Jachukali had to be stopped from being privatized." have searched for . UML leader and Dhanusha-3 MP Julie Mahato said that she has drawn the attention of the government to re-open the closed Jachukali.

Many of those who have been operating now find employment. The economy there is sustainable. She said that she is not in favor of privatizing Jachukali. "There has been an attempt to spread confusion by pretending that privatization will happen," she said, "Our demand is to bring closed industries across the country into operation." The dispute is heated. Almost all the federal industry ministers who have been appointed since the closure of Jachukali have been promising to bring Jachukali back into operation. However, the ministries, agencies, departments and offices of the Madhesh state government have not been stopped from being added to Jachukali. Jachukali has been given to the provincial government on the condition that the old structure will be maintained and used without building a new structure. However, the state government, which has been using Jachukali for 7 years, has constructed separate buildings for the Ministry of Home, Communication and Law and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Many new buildings have been added to the residential area.
The state government will remain in Jachukali or build an administrative building elsewhere, there is confusion. There are two problems of land acquisition in Janakpur. One, the price of land here is high . Two, most of the land belongs to Guthi Sansthan and Math-Temple. Jachukali is in the main market of Janakpur. The government of Madhesh province, which is stuck in the same area, likes the complex of Jachukali . Jachukali is also mentioned in the brief introduction of the Madhesh state government. Most of the ministries, including the office of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers, are working by renovating the old buildings in Jachukali according to the decision of the provincial government. The old houses of the cigarette factory have been repaired and accommodation arrangements have been made for the provincial head, chief minister and ministers,'' is written in the brief introduction of the chief minister's office.
Madhesh Chief Minister Satish Kumar Singh said that Jachukali is currently under the ownership of the state government, so there is no immediate plan to shift from here. "I have heard that it has been said to renew the license of the cigarette factory," Chief Minister Singh said, "There is no need for so much space for cigarette production." It can also be produced in a small space . The state government remains in the present . There is currently no plan to shift elsewhere.'
State Government-Industry Minister 'Lafda'
2nd week of January 2075 . The government of Madhesh province was just tightening up. While they were busy arranging chairs-tables-carpets in the ministry, the then Industry Minister Matrikaprasad Yadav along with Labalaskar reached the main administrative building of Jachukali. The media was also called the same . Yadav became angry after the offices of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers were placed outside the residential area designated for use by the state government. After the then Chief Minister Lalbabu Raut, who was running the office from the government residence, set up the Chief Minister's office in the work department building of Jachukali, there was a clash between Yadav and Raut. It will be put into operation again soon. I have asked the state government to make room,' said the then Industry Minister Yadav to the media persons. Although Yadav tried to expel the state government from Jachukali, the then Chief Minister Raut changed the name of Jachukali to 'Madhesh Bhawan'. After changing the name of Jachukali to Madhesh Bhavan, the then Industry Minister Yadav made the board of Janakpur Cigarette Factory Ltd.
On 11th July 2079, the then Industry Minister Dilendra Prasad Badu, who came to inspect Jachukali, said that Jachukali will be brought back into operation. How many machines can be used at a given time. "It will be decided after the discussion whether the government of Nepal will run it on its own or with the private sector," Badu said at that time. However, Jachukali ex-employees and technicians say that it is not possible to bring Jachukali back into operation with dilapidated buildings and rusted machines.
"In the present condition, no one, government or private sector, can bring Jachukali into operation," said Anurag Giri, the former general manager of Jachukali, "Big families from India, China and Nepal have shown interest in making Jachukali into operation". However, there is no possibility in operation.' According to
Giri, Jachukali's intention is not to make dilapidated buildings and junk machines, but to re-operate or privatize the land. Who buys that rotten goods? There is only one government sitting inside it," he said, "Who will tell the government to leave? So re-operating or privatizing Jachukali is just a political stunt.'
The Russian government has built Janakpur cigarette factory in 2021 After the building, machines and other equipment were installed with the help of the Russian government, the then King Mahendra inaugurated Jachukali on 29th of January 2021. After Surya Toba came into operation in the private sector, Jachukali gradually became a disaster. After political interference, indifference of the government and inability to purchase raw materials, the government led by the then Chairman of the Council of Ministers Khilraj Regmi decided to shut down Jachukali .
