Chief District Officer Kailash Bahadur Thakurathi has reached Nepal-China border monitoring in Urai Bhanjayang of Bajhang, leading the security personnel.

Thakurathi is the first CDO to visit this checkpoint, which is notorious for wildlife poaching and herbal smuggling.

Thakurathi said that he has reached there along with the security officers for regular monitoring of the border to create a plan to control the unwanted activities in the border area . He said that if this border, which has been used for commercial and religious travel between Tibet and Nepal since tradition, can be formally opened, not only Bajhang but also the trade and tourism of Far West will increase.

'It is necessary to open this border for commercial, religious and tourist purposes,' he said, 'If the border is formally opened, the illegal traffic activities will be controlled there.' He said that initiatives will be taken through the Ministry of Home Affairs to formally open this border.

After the corona epidemic, when China blocked the entry to Mansarovar Lake in Tibet, the worship of the local people of Bajhang has been stopped for six years . Thakurathi informed that the Chinese authorities will be discussed with the Chinese authorities about the suspension of the religious activities that have been going on since the tradition of worshiping only after offering water from the Mansarovar Lake.

China's Purang County organizes a border security meeting of the security officers of Nepal's Humla, Bajhang and Darchula districts, which are bordered by China's Taklakot, but so far no security officer of Bajhang has been present at any of the meetings. DSP Durga Prasad Bhatt of Armed Police, Major Ramesh Baniyan of Nepal Army, Nepal Police and 33 people participated in the

border monitoring team. After walking for five days, the team reached Nepal-China border Pillar No. 2 at an altitude of 5,220 meters above sea level.

DSP Durgadatta Bhat of the Armed Police said that Border Security Post (BOP) will be established soon to stop poaching of wild animals, herbs and other illegal trade. Stating that the Ministry of Home Affairs has approved the establishment of a Border Security Post of the Armed Police in Urai Bhanjang and that the Armed Police is preparing internally, he said, "Because of the large geography and the absence of security mechanisms, it has become easy for those who do illegal activities." Once the BOP is established, it is controlled .'
