  54 sec to read

April 27: Nepal’s south-eastern border in Biratnagar has now been connected with the Indian Railways network. Train carrying goods from Kolkata of India left for Bathana station of Jogbani, across Biratnagar, on April 25. Indian Railways service which was limited only to Birgunj will be providing service to Biratnagar from now onwards.

Nepal’s consular general to Kolkata Ek Narayan Aryal informed that 58 containers carrying goods arrived at Kolkata port from third countries. Those goods have been dispatched to Bathana station from Kolkata.

“We can hope that foreign trade of Nepal will be more effective and well managed with the start of railway service,” Aryal told New Business Age.

Similarly, Rabi Shankar Saiju at the Ministry of Commerce (MoC) claimed that this service will help in promotion of foreign trade from the south-eastern border point. “Effort have been made for the expansion of railway network in border points. The connection of railway service with Biratnagar is important from trade promotion perspective,” he said.
