MUSTANG: A parliamentary committee has arrived in the district for a feasibility study to open the Korala Sino-Nepal border point of Chhoser VDC in Mustang district.

The team is led by Chairperson of the Development Committee under the Legislature-Parliament, Rabindra Adhikari.

Other members of the team are lawmakers Prakash Paudel and Shree Maya Thakali, Mustang Chief District Officer Ganesh Adhikari and other security officials.

The team today left for Upper Mustang and would inspect the Korala border point and its possibility of importing goods from neighbouring China.

The border point might be developed as an alternative way for importing goods as the country was facing border problems due to blockade imposed by India for past three months.

The border point that was brought into operation around 12 years ago was closed by the Chinese authority citing security challenges.

Likewise,the Chinese authority has deployed their armed security officials by establishing a camp and has set up the closed circuit camera for monitoring the activities in the border.

Mustang CDO Adhikari said that the team would submit its study report to the government after studying all possibilities by holding discussions with the locals in the border area.
