Businessmen are under stress when goods imported with crores of investment are stuck on the road, small and medium traders have fled the profession, while limited big traders bring goods through India by sea, the consumer price has sky rocketed. After the earthquake, the Tatopani border was completely closed for four years. Imports are sometimes opened but exports are restricted. Even now, human movement is restricted and imports are negligible. A week has passed since both the checkpoints, which were opened in a controlled manner, were closed again on the pretext of Covid-19. Even when the border, which is often closed on the pretext of landslips, floods and Covid, is open, the Chinese authorities have been using tricks to determine how many containers to send. After sending 5-7 containers a day, suddenly the gate closes at the border. In such a way, Nepali businessmen are upset by China's unprofessional behavior in helping to ensure that the commercially purchased goods reach their destination safely. The checkpoint is closed several times when the goods bought by the businessmen with hundreds of thousands of investment are stuck on the road. People's News Monitoring Service
