Kathmandu: The “artha bazaar” section of “gorkhapatra” of August 28, 2017 has stated that in conjunction with the armed police and Nepal police, smugglers have been bringing in the Indian fish through the open border without quarantine and without paying five percent custom duty in Kapilbastu district. This has adversely affected the sincere Nepalese fish producers, as they have been facing the cheap fish selling in the Nepalese market. These smugglers have been smuggling in 3,200 kg of fish through this border-entry point every day.
Indian businesspeople have been bringing in Indian banana without custom checking and quarantine through the Trinagar and Gaadachowk border-entry points in the Kailali district of far western Nepal causing distress to the Nepalese banana farmers, who have been complaining about the cheap Indian banana because of the Indian government subsidizing the agricultural products, the news in the “artha-bazaar” of “gorkhapatra” of August 28, 2017 stated.
