Nepalgunj, Mar 20: The Jamunaha check post of Nepal-India border has been shut down stopping the cross-border entry of all passenger vehicles as a measure to prevent the entry of coronavirus.
However, the goods carrying trucks and fuel tankers are moving across the border freely, which showed there would be no dearth of essentials items in Nepal.
Ninety four fuel tankers entered the country via Nepalgunj border point in two days - Wednesday and Thursday.
