50-plus containers halted at customs after Korala road disruption

Mustang, October 2

Containers laden with goods imported from China have been halted at Nhechung Customs in Lomanthang Rural Municipality-4, Korala, with the Beni–Jomsom–Korala road, a national pride project, blocked at various points after heavy rainfall. The floods, landslides and river erosion caused by heavy rainfall since last Saturday night inflicted damage to the Beni–Jomsom–Korala route in 46 different places.
