Yari Customs Office, Hilsa, has been closed for three months after the import of goods was stopped from Taklakot, China, in Hilsa due to extreme cold.
Office staff have shifted to Simkot-based contact office after closing the office from the second week of Poush after the import of goods was stopped from Taklakot from the beginning of Poush month, said Office Chief Ram Raj Jaisi.
"Though the snowfall has not occurred this year, transport service has also remained closed after the snowfall occurred in November 2025. So goods from Taklakot have not been imported," he added.
However, the border towards China has been kept open, mentioned Chief Jaisi. The Office would be reopened after employees return back to the Office in the second week of Chaitra. The Office has collected Rs 1.865 million in revenue so far since the beginning of the current fiscal year.
