Nepal-Import of poultry products goes unchecked

2010-12-03 6:58 PM

Banke-based poultry traders say the continued import has badly affected local business. "Indian chicken and egg are imported from Rupaideya of India in huge quantity daily," said Jamal Siddhiki, a poultry trader at Nepalgunj Surkhet Road.


"Earlier, the quarantine office and police had stepped up checking, but the tight monitoring has been loose now," he said.


It is said that chicken and egg imported from India are being openly sold in Khajura, Rajha, Kohalpur and rural areas in Nepalgunj. Traders say police personnel and customs employees deployed on the border are working hand in glove with those involved in importing chicken and egg from India.
