Upper Dolpa sees food shortage; supply halted over a year

Kathmandu - The upper Dolpa has faced a shortage of food when its supply has been halted for over a year. The supply was not made due to no border entry permission from northern neighbour China. There is a stock of food in the district headquarters Dunai but its transport to the upper belt of the district has been obstructed in lack of permission.

Food Management and Trade Company Limited Dolpa chief Kamal Raj Pandey shared that it is required to use Chinese border checkpoint to transport food stuff so the supply has not been made in absence of permission from Chinese side.
