Weeks of landslides have forced the closure of the vital Tatopani border crossing between Nepal and China, severely disrupting trade. Hundreds of containers are currently stranded, and all customs operations have been suspended. The landslides, numbering three active sites, pose a significant obstacle to both import and export activities. This closure is impacting businesses on both sides of the border and raising concerns about potential economic consequences. The government's handling of the situation has drawn criticism, with calls for more proactive measures to address the landslides and reopen the crucial trade route. Authorities are currently assessing the extent of the damage and working to develop a plan for stabilization and reopening, but no timeline has been provided.
