Trucks From India Cross Into Nepal As Key Border-Point Opens

05 February, New Delhi

Over 150 trucks from India entered Nepal through a key border trade point today for the first time in more than four months.

According to official sources, the convoy of freight containers entered Nepal through the Birgunj-Raxaul border crossing in Bihar, after local entrepreneurs from Nepal and India set ablaze the tents set by Madhesis who had enforced the blockade.

The Madhesis, mostly of Indian origin, have been demanding the new Constitution be amended to include their concerns.
