DODHARA CHANDANI: Gaddachauki, a transit point along the Nepal-India border in Kanchanpur, lately reports a large arrival of Nepalis from India for the Dashain festival celebrations.

Over 10,000 people entered Nepal via the Gaddachauki points since the past one week.

According to the District Police Office, Kanchanpur, over 1000 Nepalis are returning home each day from India for the Dashain.

Office Chief Shyam Singh Chaudhary said with transit becoming overcrowded by the India-returnees, security has been beefed-up.

Trained dogs have been mobilized along the border area to prevent any untoward incidents and for the security of travelers.
