JSP-Nepal Opposes Customs Restriction on Cross-Border Purchases

Kathmandu. The Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Nepal has opposed the provision allowing only goods worth up to 100 rupees to be brought across the Terai-Madhesh border without paying customs duties. On Saturday, the party's patron, Mahantha Thakur, issued a statement expressing opposition to this provision.

In the statement, he described the decision, which specifically targets individuals traveling by road between Madhesh and India, as a short-sighted move and urged the government to reconsider it.

Stating that the friendly relations between Nepal and India are mutual and eternal, the statement also demands the immediate revocation of this provision, which affects the daily shopping needs of citizens.
