Trade through Benapole port suspended due to general holiday
Despite the halt in trade, passport-holding passengers are crossing the border as usual
Export and import activities between Bangladesh and India through Benapole land port remained suspended from this morning (31 December) due to a general holiday in Bangladesh.
Shamim Hossain, director of Benapole port, said trade through Benapole port remained suspended from today due to the general holiday in Bangladesh over the death of BNP Chairperson and former prime minister Khaleda Zia.
The trade will resume tomorrow, he said.
Sakawat Hossain, officer-in-charge of Benapole Checkpost Immigration Police, said, despite the halt in trade, passport-holding passengers are crossing the border as usual.
