MP Anushka Shrestha Demands Mandatory Sale of Nepali Goods at Tribhuvan International Airport

Kathmandu. Ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) MP Anushka Shrestha has demanded that the government make necessary arrangements for the mandatory sale and distribution of Nepali goods in all shops at Tribhuvan International Airport.

Her argument was that since thousands of passengers leave Nepal daily from the airport, the government needs to prioritize the sale of goods produced by Nepali entrepreneurs there to give them a taste of Nepal and Nepali identity worldwide.

Speaking in the zero hour of the House of Representatives meeting on Tuesday, MP Shrestha emphasized that the government should utilize the airport to promote domestic and small industries and indigenous goods.

Speaking at the meeting, MP Shrestha said, 'The presence of tastes that introduce Nepal, handicrafts, and 'Made in Nepal' at our Tribhuvan Airport still appears weak. When thousands of passengers depart from Nepal daily, being able to send them off with the taste of local products is an opportunity to take Nepal's identity to the world. I want to urge the government and TIA management to ensure a dedicated section for Nepali products is mandatorily arranged in all shops and tender processes at the airport. Priority should be given especially to small and indigenous entrepreneurs. This step can be effective in spreading 'Made in Nepal' worldwide.'

MP Shrestha stated that it is necessary to provide Nepali goods access to the global market to introduce Nepal's identity to the world and promote indigenous products.
