Dragon Media Correspondent<\/strong><\/p>\n

A joint security team has seized a large consignment of liquor and beer allegedly brought illegally through the Lapcha border point in Namkha Rural Municipality\u20136 of Humla.<\/p>\n

The alcoholic beverages, which were reportedly brought in through the Lapcha border area during a trade fair, were found abandoned at Nawalathang in Namkha Rural Municipality\u20132, according to the Armed Police Force.<\/p>\n

Armed Police Deputy Superintendent Nanda Bahadur Saud said the joint security team recovered 594 cartons of liquor. With 12 bottles in each carton, the consignment contained a total of 7,128 bottles.<\/p>\n

The security team also seized 194 cartons of beer. Each carton contained 24 bottles, bringing the total number of beer bottles to 4,656.<\/p>\n

Based on the carton count and the number of bottles in each carton, a total of 11,784 bottles of liquor and beer were seized.<\/p>\n

The estimated value of the confiscated alcoholic beverages is Rs 5,193,600.<\/p>\n

Security agencies have launched further investigation to determine who brought the consignment into Nepal, who owned it and for what purpose it had been transported.<\/p>\n

As the Lapcha border point lies along the Nepal\u2013China border area, movement during trade fairs also raises questions concerning customs procedures, revenue collection and border monitoring.<\/p>\n

The discovery of such a large quantity of alcoholic beverages in an abandoned condition has prompted further investigation into their ownership, import procedure and possible customs and revenue violations.<\/p>\n

Note: The original information stated that 11,785 bottles were seized. However, the figures provided for the cartons produce a total of 11,784 bottles: 594 \u00d7 12 = 7,128 bottles of liquor and 194 \u00d7 24 = 4,656 bottles of beer. The mathematically consistent total has therefore been used in this report.<\/p>\n
