Dang. Revenue collection at the Koilabas Customs Office has decreased. According to the office, only 7.1 million rupees have been collected in the first six months of the current fiscal year 2081/82. The office has stated that the revenue has also decreased due to the reduced movement of people due to the strict measures taken by the Indian side at the border.
‘The number of people moving from here is decreasing due to the strict measures taken while entering India,’ said the acting head of the office, Basanta Rajoure. Locals have complained that Indian security personnel keep original documents such as Nepali citizenship and license while entering India through this route.
