Following a five-day break for Eid-ul-Fitr and Bangla New Year, export and import operations between India and Bangladesh through Benapole land port recommenced on Monday morning.
Previously, due to Eid-ul-Fitr and Bangla New Year, import and export with India through this port had been halted from 10th to 14th April.
The Port of Benapole C&F Staff Association’s general secretary, Sajedur Rahman, stated that this morning’s export and import operations have restarted.
Kamruzzaman Biswas, officer-in-charge of Benapole Check Post Immigration Police, said the movement of passengers between the two countries was normal despite the suspension of trade for holidays.
Benapole Port director Rezaul Karim averred after the end of the holidays, workers will work for extended hours at the port if necessary for loading and unloading of goods.
