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


Shamim Hossain, director of Benapole port, said trade through Benapole port remained suspended from Wednesday due to the general holiday in Bangladesh over the death of BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.

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.
