The Tatopani-Khas border point connecting Nepal to China has been reopened. According to Nepali newspaper Kathmandu Post, Lal Bahadur Khatri, chief of Tatopani Dry port, told that the Chinese administration has allowed movement on behalf of Nepal.
Cargo-filled cargoes have started arriving in Nepal.
Khatri told that “three cargoes filled with three fruits and everyday things entered into Nepal from China on Tuesday”.
The Tatopani border was closed for repair work on the Friendship Bridge on 20 January. This is the bridge that connects Nepal to China.
Actually, the bridge was damaged due to rain in the Bhotekoshi river and the water of the lakes of the Nilam area of Tibet.
Rajkumar Paudel, the head of Bhotekoshi Rural Municipal Corporation, told Nepali media, “We felt that China would keep this border closed for the next three weeks as Lahosar festival in Tibet is on 12 February. It seemed that the border would be closed by then. But now the checkpoint is being opened a little bit. Due to the closure of the border for a long time, it had a lot of effect on the local traders.
On Monday, customs officials had said that the border could not be opened despite the repair work being completed as it had been snowing in China for the past few days.
The Tatopani-Khasa border was opened on May 29, 2019, after being closed for four years after the 2015 earthquake. After this, it was closed in January 2020 in view of the havoc of Kovid-19.
After this, in April last year, China agreed to open this border so that medicines and equipment related to the coronavirus could be transported. During this time, the movement of goods trains was almost stopped.
The Tatopani border point, starting from Kathmandu, is 115 kilometers long, which is an important route for trade from China to Nepal.
Nepal entered into an agreement with China on 15 October 1961 to create a road link between the two countries. Under this, there was talk of building an Eranico highway from Kathmandu to Khasa. Many western countries including India also opposed this agreement. According to the agreement, China built the Eranico Highway and it was opened in 1967. It is said that this road was built by the Chinese Army People’s Liberation Army. This was the beginning of reducing dependence on India.
However, this highway is called the most dangerous road in the world. Landslides occur continuously here and often this road is closed. Nepal does business with China through this route, but it is very difficult. Due to heavy rains here, landslides are common here. This 144 km long road is on a very steep slope and it is said that driving on it is like risking life.

In a shocking development, YouTuber Praneeth Hanumanthu has become embroiled in controversy following his detention by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. Initially arrested for making offensive remarks during a podcast, Hanumanthu's predicament has escalated, resulting in further allegations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after he tested positive for cannabis consumption. The Context of the Detention The origins of Hanumanthu's difficulties can be linked to a podcast he hosted, which included a conversation that many considered highly unseemly. During this episode, he made inappropriate comments regarding the dynamics between a father and daughter, igniting outrage among viewers and critics alike. This incident quickly garnered the attention of both the public and law enforcement, prompting an investigation by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. The primary allegation centered around his remarks, which were deemed to have crossed the boundaries of acceptable discourse. This scenario raises broader inquiries about accountability and the duties of content creators, particularly in an era where online platforms can amplify messages to a large audience. As a public figure, Hanumanthu's statements carry substantial weight, and the backlash he has encountered signifies society's increasing intolerance towards harmful rhetoric. Charges Related to Substances Things took a turn for the worse for Hanumanthu when, following his arrest, authorities opted to perform a drug test. The results confirmed the presence of cannabis in his system, leading to additional allegations under the NDPS Act. This legislation is a strict law in India aimed at combating substance abuse and trafficking. By testing positive for drug use, Hanumanthu not only worsened his legal troubles but also further tarnished his reputation. The addition of drug-related charges initiates an important discourse about the effects of substance use among influencers and celebrities. Many young individuals look up to figures like Hanumanthu, and such disclosures can have significant consequences on their perceptions and behaviors. The fallout from his actions extends beyond legal issues; it also encompasses the ethical obligations that accompany public visibility. Reactions from the Public and Consequences The public’s reaction to Hanumanthu's arrest has been varied. Many viewers voiced their outrage over both his initial remarks and his later substance use. Social media has been inundated with discussions, memes, and criticisms, illustrating the swift spread of information and opinions in today’s digital environment. Critics contend that individuals like Hanumanthu should be held accountable for their influence, particularly when it concerns endorsing a healthy lifestyle and responsible behavior. On the other hand, some supporters have rallied behind him, advocating for the necessity of empathy and understanding. They highlight the pressures that accompany being a public figure, especially in a hyper-connected world where every action is scrutinized. This divide in public sentiment mirrors a broader societal conversation about celebrity culture, accountability, and the intricacies of mental health and substance use. The Wider Picture of Substance Abuse Hanumanthu's situation is also part of a larger discourse regarding drug abuse in India, especially among the youth. As discussions about mental health and substance use become more widespread, incidents like this underscore the pressing need for awareness and education about addiction and its root causes. The stigma surrounding drug use often hampers open dialogue about the topic, leaving many to endure in silence. Moreover, the legal implications of the NDPS Act spark questions about how society addresses drug-related offenses. While the act aims to deter substance abuse, critics argue that such laws can disproportionately impact certain demographics and do not tackle the underlying causes of addiction. Conversations around harm reduction, rehabilitation, and public health strategies are increasingly relevant within the framework of these laws. Prospects Ahead for Hanumanthu As Hanumanthu navigates the forthcoming legal hurdles, his future remains unpredictable. He faces possible legal repercussions for both his unsatisfactory comments and his substance use, which could greatly affect his career and personal life. The scenario serves as a cautionary example for content creators about the consequences of their expressions and actions, highlighting the need for thoughtful engagement with their audience.…
