Livestock farming in crisis as China tightens cross-border grazing

Nepali herders are facing harassment in Tibet despite a 2012 deal to allow grazing within 30 km on both sides.

On July 20 last year, Bir Bahadur Bohara of Kanda in ward 3 of Saipal Rural Municipality and Pasang Tamang of ward 4 had taken their horses and mules to graze at Bains across the border in Tibet. The Chinese security personnel misbehaved and beat them.
