Export and import activities between Bangladesh and India through Benapole land port remained suspended from Wednesday morning due to a general holiday in Bangladesh.

The trade will resume on Thursday, he said.

Officer-in-Charge of Benapole Checkpost Immigration Police, Sakawat Hossain said, despite the halt in trade, passport-holding passengers are crossing the border as usual, reports UNB.
