When Will This Scourge Stop?

Gold smuggling has become a persistent problem in Nepal, making it challenging for law enforcement to eliminate it completely. The regular confiscation of illicitly transported gold, the arrest of numerous smugglers, and the revelation of their connections to influential individuals highlight the threat this illicit activity poses to our financial and security systems. Analysts claim that Nepal’s open borders, absence of an appropriate number of security checkpoints, strict surveillance, and corruption among government officials and politicians have resulted in the nation becoming a safe haven for gold smugglers.
