KATHMANDU, Jan 24: Fertilizer weighing 7,591 metric tons dumped at the Birgunj dry port for the past one and a half year is yet to be properly managed.

BIRGUNJ, Oct 2: At a time when containers for international trade in goods are scarce following the COVID-19 pandemic, over 1,500 empty cargo containers are currently stuck at the dry port in Birgunj. Due to this, the only dry port in the country that is used for international trade is facing a ‘container congestion’. Some containers have remained unused at the dry port for over a year and a half.
