Nepal-India Border Sees Shift in Smuggling Tactics

Biratnagar. When we talk about smuggling in the Nepal-India border area, we usually imagine vehicles speeding past security personnel in the dark of night or large groups of smugglers. However, the scene seen in the border areas of Morang recently is completely different, organized, and linked to the weaknesses of modern technology.

The nature of smuggling at the border has changed. Smugglers no longer risk carrying large quantities of goods in big containers or vehicles. Instead, they have made the loopholes in the state's administrative and revenue system their main weapon.
