Melamchi, March 19: A dispute among the Everest Tea Company and hotel entrepreneurs in Bhotechaur – 7 of Sindhupalchowk has come to an end.
The tea company operating for the last two decades had barred the hotel entrepreneurs and tourists from entering the tea cultivation area citing production of organic tea.
A meeting between the tea company management, hoteliers and representatives of the political parties held on Friday at the Area Police Office ended in an agreement to lift the bar on entrance to the tea garden, Inspector, Niraj Dangi, of the Area Police Office, Melamchi said.
The tea company has set a condition that those visiting the tea cultivation would only be allowed to use the public path and not stray randomly inside the garden. The hoteliers will also be allowed to commute between the hotel and their destination on two wheel motor vehicle.
The hoteliers were enraged after the company's decision to prohibit access to the area. The tea garden known as Nepal's 'Mini Ilam' lies at a distance of 30 km from the capital city. The dispute between the tea company and the hoteliers had impacted the tourism business with a decline in tourists' visit to the area. RSS
