Nepali Congress demands rollback of customs duty on India border imports

Nepali Congress has strongly opposed the government's decision to impose customs duty on goods worth more than NPR 100 imported by border residents from India. The party describes the move as unjust, impractical, and harmful to low-income groups such as farmers and labourers who rely on cheaper goods for survival. The Nepali Congress has called on the government to immediately withdraw the decision and reduce tax on food grains, clothing, and other daily necessary goods.
