China halts movement of goods into Nepal via Keemathnka-Chentang border port

09 Mar, 2022

China has halted the movement of goods into Nepal via the Kimathanka-Chentang border port in Sankhuwasabha district, according to sources.

This halt reportedly comes amid the increasing Covid 19 pandemic in the country and the measures taken by the Chinese government.

Since Nepal imports daily essential products, including food items, construction material, equipment via this border port, the suspension of imports has created difficulties for the locals living in the areas.

It has been learnt that authorities in Nepal have urged the Chinese side to open the border.

China?s withholding of trucks and containers at the Nepal-China border has become a concern for traders in Nepal, leading to delays and disruptions. (ANI)
