Trade through Benapole resumes after 5-day holiday

Benapole land port

Benapole, Oct 14 -Trade between Bangladesh and India through the Benapole land port resumed on Monday morning after a five-day closure marking Durga Puja, the largest religious festival of Hindus.

Shamsur Rahman, president of the Benapole Clearing & Forwarding agent, said the land port again became vibrant with activities.

Hundreds of Indian trucks carrying goods started entering the land port in the morning as those were stranded at the Indian end for the last five days, he said.

Imtiaz Bhuiyan, Officer-in-Charge of Benapole Checkpost Immigration police, said the movement of passengers between the two countries with valid documents remained uninterrupted. - UNB
