Although the government has decided to open an immigration office in Korala, one of the important crossing points between Nepal and China, the infrastructure is temporary in nature. On November 14, Home Minister Ramesh Ukkar reached Korla crossing and inaugurated the immigration office building, but it is not concrete but prefab. This prefab building was built by the Gandaki state government.
On the other side of China towards Tibet, there are large and orderly concrete buildings. In the middle, the border between Nepal and China is separated by border posts and fences. Looking at the construction of immigration offices and other infrastructures in the same geography, there is a 'heaven-land difference'.
The immigration office is located in Lomanthang in Upper Mustang, which is located at border post number 24 between Nepal and China. A 10-room immigration and security post has been established at the immigration office at Korla Naka in Lomanthang Rural Municipality-1 Nechung. For the operation of the immigration office, the government has already extended the central transmission line of the electricity authority up to Korla crossing, and Nepal Telecom has provided mobile services with internet.
Earlier, only Mustang residents who had obtained permission from the district administration office used to travel to Korola checkpoint for business purposes. It seems that the operation of the office will now make it easier for Nepali people who want to travel through this border. Inaugurating the immigration office at the border, the home minister said, "With the operation of the immigration office, it is believed that the bilateral relations with China will be further strengthened." The immigration office is important for the increase of bilateral trade along with the movement of citizens of the two countries.'
This crossing, which is 4,650 meters above sea level, was jointly opened by Majestie Nurbu Tshiring of Zhomwa County in Sigatse Province and Mustang Chief District Officer Janakraj Pant on October 27 last year. was inaugurated as With the opening of the Korla border crossing located in the northern part of Gandaki province, it is believed that it will become a multi-use route for business promotion, tourism expansion, etc. It is believed that the operation of this checkpoint will prove to be a milestone in the prosperity of Gandaki province, which is connected to two big neighboring countries.
The chief district officer of Mustang, Bishnu Prasad Bhusal, mentioned that the immigration office has been operated to organize the Korla border crossing, even though the physical infrastructure like the one across the border has not been built. He added, 'This will make transportation through the Korla dry port easy and organized.' (DPR) was made. During the implementation of the same DPR, electricity and communication facilities were provided in the first phase.
The Chinese side has left Dasgaja and built the necessary infrastructure including quarantine, animal quarantine, staff accommodation, laboratory, warehouse, truck and container parking and security arrangements in addition to the modern IT-connected customs office.
According to the protocol of the transit and transport agreement signed between Nepal and China in 2007, even though it is open for movement to the dry port, now only the residents of Lomanthang and Loghekar-Damodarkund rural areas of Mustang are buying and selling goods from the border in accordance with the trade agreement between Nepal and China in 1981. . After the establishment of Nepali immigration, all Nepalis will be able to cross the Korla border with a pass. According to the locals, even though Nepalis bring essential goods from China, they look for branding goods when bringing them from Nepal. As a result, there is no material to export from Nepal and only imports are more.
There is a delay in the construction of a wide and standard road to transport goods and goods from the dry port to be built at Korla pass, which is considered the lifeline of Gandaki province. Now Beni-Jomsom-Korla 186 km road is being constructed at 11 meter wide level with 7 meter pitch.
After reaching Beni in Myagdi via Bhupi Sherchan Marg from Pokhara, following the Kaligandaki river, it goes uphill across the Himalaya range, Beni-Jomsom-Lomanthang-Korla highway. To connect with Korla Pass, Madhyapahari Highway and Kaligandaki Corridor Highway entering from Butwal in Lumbini Province and Rukum in Karnali Province, after connecting with Maldhunga, they go up towards Korla Pass through Myagdi Beni.
