PARSA: The Birgunj Customs Office has introduced a temporary arrangement to ease disruptions to the entry of Indian vehicles in Thori, deploying two officials at the Thori Sub-Customs Office to issue free temporary entry passes.

The office said the measure, which came into effect on July 7, allows Indian vehicles to operate within the Thori area using the temporary passes until a permanent solution is decided.

The interim arrangement was introduced after the issue of halted entry of Indian vehicles was raised in the House of Representatives. The customs office said it has also written to the concerned ministry seeking further decisions on the matter.
