Kathmandu: For the last two years Beijing has imposed an undeclared blockade at the transit points on the Nepal-China border citing the COVID-19 pandemic which is causing trouble for Nepali traders and even their deaths by suicide.
Sudarshan Ghimire, owner of Swet Baraha Enterprises, who created the image of a good businessman of New Road, chose the path of suicide.
He died by suicide on September 6, 2022, reported local media EPARDAFAS as quoted by ANI.
To make things troublesome for traders from the Himalayan nation, China for the last two years has been allowing only a few containers to cross the transit points on the Nepal-China border.
Hare Ram Paudel, a young entrepreneur from Sindhupalchowk involved in the import and supply of Chinese goods in the Nepali market committed suicide on October 13, 2020, due to frustration when his goods got stuck on the Nepal-China border for months, ANI reported.
The entrepreneur committed suicide under stress as his financial condition worsened since the containers with his goods got stuck at the Chinese border for a long time.
