Devastating flash floods in Nepal's Bhotekoshi River have severely disrupted trade with China, damaging border infrastructure and roads and raising concerns over delays and higher prices for Chinese goods ahead of the country's major festival season, according to a media report on Wednesday.
The floods have disrupted the movement of cargo trucks carrying imports from China, forcing traders to divert shipments through alternative routes just as demand for consumer goods is expected to rise ahead of Dashain, Tihar and Chhath, The Rising Nepal reported.
