KATHMANDU, Sept 1: The Tatopani border crossing between Nepal and China has finally reopened for the movement of people after being closed for eight years. Today, the residents of Sindhupalchowk, who obtained the entry permit from the Department of Immigration from the Miteri bridge in Liping, left for China after being checked by the Chinese security personnel. The Chinese officials warmly welcomed  the team including Member of Parliament (MP) Madhav Sapkota.

Human mobility through the Tatopani border check point in Sindhupalchowk district bordering China has been resumed from today onward, after a hiatus of eight years.

The Nepal-China border point has been closed since the 2015 earthquake destroyed the infrastructure.

At least nine people were killed and two others injured after a fire broke out early Friday at an inn in Liping County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, said the local emergency management authority.

Before the earthquake, nearly 30,000 Chinese tourists used to enter Nepal from the Tatopani border point.
