Dhaka, Oct 19 - The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) has temporarily designated the GSE Maintenance area for storing goods following recent disruptions at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport cargo village. 

Customs authorities are conducting physical examinations of goods at the designated site, while ASYCUDA World connectivity has been established at Gate No. 9 to facilitate customs processing.

Officials of the NBR said that the release of goods is now being carried out through the newly designated gate to ensure continued cargo operations and minimise disruption to trade and logistics activities. 

A major fire erupted on on Saturday at the cargo‐terminal section of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka. 

The blaze gutted goods in the airport’s “cargo village,” where imported goods including fabrics, electronics and chemicals are stored.  

According to official statements, the fire was brought under control by about 9 pm, and flight operations resumed shortly thereafter. - UNB
