Mahesh Sah, a resident of Sunsari, has successfully transitioned from 11 years of labor in Malaysia to producing ‘peda’, a traditional milk sweet. According to *The Rising Nepal*, his enterprise now generates monthly revenues between Rs 70,000 and Rs 80,000, nearly double his previous foreign income. Sah processes over 120 liters of milk daily, sourcing from Rampur and Sri-Lanka Tappu, while serving customers both in-person and online. This venture reflects a broader economic transformation in Chataraghat, where trade has shifted from salt to sweets. The growth is largely attributed to the 2015 opening of the Koshi Bridge, which improved connectivity and boosted commercial activity along the corridor.
