Trade between Bangladesh and India through Benapole land port resumed on Monday morning after a two-day suspension.
The trade remained suspended on Saturday and Sunday due to the inauguration of a new passenger terminal at India’s Petrapole land port by Indian Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday.
Shamsur Rahman, president of the Benapole C&F Agents Association, confirmed the reopening of trade activities saying that many trucks loaded with goods queued at Petrapole to enter Benapole after the two-day break.
Officer-in-Charge Imtiaz Bhuiyan of Benapole Checkpost Immigration Police said although trade remained suspended passenger movement remained undisrupted.
