The Chinese side also held talks with Rasuwa’s Chief District Officer Shiva Ram Gelal and Customs chief Kedar Paneru to discuss on easing trade and removing barriers for smooth operation of the border point.“The border point has reopened for trade,” said Paneru. “Even petroleum products can be imported through this route if an agreement is made at the higher level.” Before bringing the border point into operation, China had cleared a huge mound of landslide debris on their side, about 10km from Rasuwagadhi. Gelal said that the Chinese side has assured that they would coordinate with Nepal to ease export and import of goods. Deputy Superintendent of Police of the Armed Police Force Darsan Giri said that they arranged an APF unit to control revenue leakages. “We will stop smuggling of goods, provide border security and control other illegal activities,” he pledged. The Immigration Office of Nepal has initiated works to ease cross-border movement. Officiating Immigration Chief Medani Sapkota said they distributed half a dozen of one-day passes to cross the border. Immigration chiefs of both countries said they would soon introduce four-day passes as well.
Nepal’s quarantine office has also began its operation on Thursday. As the main trade route of Tatopani-Khasa remains closed, traders said that they now plan to import goods through Rasuwagadhi.
