“The trading days are from Monday to Thursday and trade will continue till 30 November, 2018,” officials said. Despite inclement weather in the past few days, the trade opening day was blessed with sunny weather and officials and traders of both the sides reached Nathula for the resumption in droves.
“Officials and traders from India and China wished each other a prosperous trade and assured best possible help to each other for a smooth and peaceful trade for the year,” officials said.
It may be mentioned here that the border trade lasted for a mere two weeks last year, given the Dokhlam standoff between the two neighbours. “Traders are this time around hopeful that unlike last year, business will begin and run smoothly without any obstruction,” the officials added.
