"Integrated check posts at major border points between our countries are greatly facilitating mutual trade and movement," Modi said.
The check post has been built with India's assistance in a bid to facilitate trade and people's movement between two countries, PMO India had said in a tweet. This is the second ICP on the Nepal border. The first was built at the Raxaul-Birgunj border in 2018. (ANI)
