Kathmandu, 13 April: The government’s attention has been drawn to open the Kimathanka checkpoint along the Nepal-China border in Sankhuwasabha district. Airing views in a meeting of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Nepali Congress lawmaker Deepak Khadka said, “Kimathanka point has remained closed. I urge the government to sit for talks with China to proceed towards its opening.”
Lawmaker Khadka took time to apprise the House of problems in transporting foods for Bhotkhola Rural Municipality that lies in the northernmost part of the district during rains. As the lawmaker said, the access road to the rural municipality from the district headquarters Khandbari remains totally disrupted during rains.
“This village has no storage facility and over 6,500 people residing there are at a constant risk of food crisis during the rainy season. I urge the government to take prompt measures to address the issue,” Khadka said.
