Sources report that postal services from
India to Nepal via Raxaul have resumed after a six-month hiatus caused
by the activities of the United Democrat Madhes Front (UDMF) .
According to a report published in the Times of India (TOI)
on Tuesday (16 February), the UDMF had imposed a blockade at entry
points on the India/Nepal border as part of a broad protest campaign but
decided to scale back its protests on 8 February.
The Raxaul postal inspector Mithlesh Kumar reportedly told the TOI
that around 1,200 bags of post intended for delivery in Nepal had
accumulated at the Raxaul post office.
The TOI report said that the Nepalese postal department collected 77
postal bags from Raxaul post office on Monday, and plans to continuing
working its way through the stockpile on a “day-to-day basis”.
