Traders from China alloted site at Sherathang Trade Mart in Nathula


Gangtok, October 13: A complex for Chinese traders in the Sherathang Trade Mart premises was opened from today, 3 years after the Nathu La border trade between Sikkim and Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) resumed in June, 2006.
The complex for Chinese traders at the Sherathang mart has rooms for 12 shops and was opened for the Chinese traders from today after the infrastructure was finally completed, sources informed.
Sources informed that the Chinese traders were very happy to do business and conduct trade under a permanent roof as they have been so far running at road side in the mart at the mercy of adverse weather conditions.
The site for the Chinese traders was scheduled to be completed and opened during the starting of the border trade this year but was set back due to heavy snowfall during last winter.
The third season of the Nathu La border trade between Sikkim and TAR had commenced from May 4 for this year
