September 14: Industries in the Bara-Parsa Industrial Corridor, which has been under a four-month-long shutdown, have been badly affected by the recent prohibitory order imposed since a month-and-a-half. Production in most of the industries has declined significantly as the government has recently tightened restrictions to control the spread of coronavirus.

High vigilance was adopted in Birgunj since last week of July with a soon surge in number of infections among the workers. A ban was imposed in Birgunj and surrounding areas from July 25. Production in the corridor was affected soon after the local administration issued a restraining order in the neighboring Bara district.

Subodh Gupta, senior vice-president of the Birgunj Chamber of Commerce and Industry informed that the production has been badly affected due to the recent increase in the number of coronavirus infection and tight regulation in public movement imposed by the local administration.

Gupta, who is also the president of the Nepal Rice Oil and Pulses Industries Association, informed that the production has decreased due to the panic among the workers. "Industrialists and workers alike are afraid to enter the industry,” he informed.
