Despite lockdown, boulder export from Phuentsholing remains uninterrupted Dec 27, 2020
With some 1500 trucks ferrying boulders, mines, and minerals, the boulder export business in Phuntsholing is being carried-out hassle-free, even amidst the lockdown. The containment zone at Amochhu which started last week is facilitating the export.
With services like clearing agents, forest, and customs offices, export is being carried out in a single-window system. With the system in place, the number of vehicles exporting the minerals has also increased, over time.
‘’Before, we used to export only 120 to 150 truckloads of mineral in a day, but today the number has increased to 180 to 200,’’ said Dorji Tshering, the President of the Bhutan Exporters Association. Hereon, the association plans to export at least 200 truckloads, every day.
