Goods stranded in Kerung to be transported to Nepal via Korala border
Summary
Commercial goods stranded in Kerung, China, will be sent to Nepal through the Korala border point after the Bhotekoshi flood destroyed roads and bridges linking the two countries. More than 400 containers have already begun moving via an alternative route as traders rush to meet Dashain and Tihar demand.
Key Points
