Yari customs office reopens after four months

HUMLA: The Yari customs office in the northern Humla has come into operation after a gap of four months.

The office remained closed since December 25 due to extreme cold weather. The customs service resumed after office Chief Ramraj Jaisi returned to Hilsa.

The office was closed after informing the customs department since snow started accumulating in the area. It came back into operation from Sunday,” Office Chief Jaisi said.

The road section here is completely closed for traffic after snowfall during the winter. It is expected that the transport service will also come into operation soon as the Hilsa-Simkot road project has started removing the snow.

Import of goods from Taklakot will also resume once the transport service comes into operation.
