India’s ‘unofficial’ embargo: 55 vehicles, including four tankers enter Nepal

September 28:  Fifty-five vehicles, including four tankers ferrying petroleum products, entered Nepal through Belahiya on Monday, four days after India imposed an ‘unofficial’ blockade on Nepal.

This comes a day after 38 vehicles entered the country through the same route. Indian officials reportedly relaxed the embargo for vehicles entering Nepal through Belhaiya on Sunday, said Area Police office, Belahiya. 

Of the four vehicles ferrying petroleum, three are Gas bullets and one is a diesel tanker. According to the Bhairahawa customs office, Indian officials have also allowed truck loads of coal, marble, fruits, tyres and carpets to pass. The customs office collected Rs 18.7 million in taxes from those carriers, said the office.
