Five
people involved in smuggling and trading of Red Sandalwood beads have been
arrested from different places of Kathmandu, central Nepal. About 5.5 kilograms
of sandalwood beads were found along with those smugglers. International Trade
in Endangered Species of wild Fauna and Flora has prohibited the trading of red
sandalwood and goods made of it. Similarly, a smuggler of Red Panda was also
nabbed from Boudha, Kathmandu with red panda skin. Red Panda is listed as
endangered species by CITES Convention 1975 and the National Parks and Wild
