So far, 83,020 Nepali have returned from various parts of India using the Trinagar transit. However, the number is gradually decreasing in the recent days.

"Earlier, as many as 6,000 used to arrive in a day but that has now come to 400 to 500, said Shiva Raj Joshi, information officer at District Administration Office, Kailali.

The number has gone down as many have already returned while some remained back as loosening of the lockdown in India has helped them continue with their jobs, Joshi said.
