Dozens of containers with goods for Dashain and Tihar fail to enter Nepal due to landslides

Traders are now facing losses amounting to millions of rupees as these products, particularly fruits with short shelf lives, deteriorate rapidly.

A series of landslides have halted dozens of containers filled with goods worth millions, specifically aimed at the Dashain and Tihar festivals, from entering Nepal. The containers, which were being transported via the Tatopani and Rasuwa border points connected with China, remain stranded on the Chinese side, resulting in substantial losses for Nepalese businesses.
