The Beni–Jomsom road has reopened to traffic, allowing 173 containers carrying goods imported from China to begin leaving Mustang for Pokhara, Kathmandu and other urban areas after the blocked route was cleared. Inspector Santosh Basyal, information officer at the District Police Office, said the containers began their journey from Mustang once vehicles could use the road again.
Road clearance allows container movement
The reopening restored the road connection needed for the containers to move out of Mustang. Their departure follows a period when the route was blocked, preventing traffic from passing along the Beni–Jomsom road. Once the obstruction was cleared, the 173 containers were able to set off toward destinations including Pokhara and Kathmandu.
Basyal confirmed the movement of the containers and their departure from Mustang. The goods they are carrying were imported from China and entered Nepal through the Korala border point. They are now being transported toward urban areas, including the two named destinations, as well as other locations.
The reported movement is tied directly to the reopening of the road: the containers had been in Mustang while the route was blocked, and they began leaving after it was cleared. The information provided by the District Police Office concerns the start of their departure; it does not specify how long the journey will take or when the containers will reach their destinations.
Goods entered Nepal through Korala
Korala was the border point through which the China-imported goods entered Nepal before the containers were positioned in Mustang. From there, the Beni–Jomsom road provides the route for onward movement toward Pokhara, Kathmandu and other urban areas. The 173 containers represent a significant group of vehicles now able to continue along that route following the reopening.
The available details do not identify the specific goods inside the containers, the businesses or customers receiving them, or whether all 173 had completed the journey from Mustang. The confirmed development is that the containers began departing after the road was cleared, with their destinations described as Pokhara, Kathmandu and other urban centres.
Reopening restores traffic on the route
The road’s reopening has allowed traffic to resume on the previously blocked section and enabled the container convoy to move onward. For the goods coming through Korala, the clearance means they can continue from Mustang toward their intended urban destinations rather than remain held up by the road obstruction.
Inspector Basyal’s account links the movement of all 173 containers to the reopening. Further details about the cause of the blockage, the length of the closure, or the timing of the containers’ arrival in Pokhara and Kathmandu were not provided. For now, the key update is that the Beni–Jomsom road is open and the China-imported cargo has begun moving out of Mustang.
