Nepal reopens birth place of Lord Buddha

Kathmandu, Nov 19 (UNI) The Nepali government has reopened Lumbini, the birth place of Lord Buddha for tourists nearly eight months after its closure, a senior official of Lumbini Development Trust said on Thursday.
Nearly two weeks after the Nepali cabinet decided to reopen tourism-related services such as cable car, adventure tourism, jungle safari and museum, the trust, an autonomous body under the government formed to preserve and develop the Lumbini area, decided to reopen one of the important religious and tourist sites of the Himalayan country.
The area had remained closed since March 24 when the Nepali government imposed a nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
