A Based Panchagarh Correspondent: Banglabandha Land Port has resumed operations after a long holiday on the occasion of the holy Eid-ul-Azha celebration.
According to land port sources, this four-country commercial port has regained its vitality as the import-export operations of Banglabandha Land Port resumed from Sunday morning. 9 trucks of jute were exported from Bangladesh to Bhutan in the morning. In addition, stone import operations are ongoing from Bhutan. On the other hand, although stone is imported only from India through this port, no Indian truck loaded with stones arrived at the land port yard today. Traders said that due to internal problems between traders and truck drivers in Fulbari in India, no truck brought stones to Banglabandha Land Port today.
C & F Agents Association General Secretary Jahangir Alam said that after the Eid-ul-Azha holiday, the commercial activities of Banglabandha Land Port are going on normally. However, Indian truck drivers and traders have created some obstacles in stopping trucks carrying stones from Bhutan. But no stone trucks from India have entered Banglabandha Land Port. Apart from that, the activities are continuing.
Banglabandha Land Port Customs Officer Ujjal said that after the Eid-ul-Azha holiday, the activities of Banglabandha Land Port have started in full swing. Today, jute was exported from Bangladesh to Bhutan and stones were imported from Bhutan. Besides, other import-export activities will be started in phases.
Banglabandha Land Port Supervisor Md. Abul Kalam Azad said, today, on the first working day after the long Eid holiday, 9 trucks of jute were exported to Bhutan at the land port and no stone-carrying trucks arrived at Fulbari in India due to internal reasons of traders. However, stone imports from Bhutan continue. All port activities will be normal in the next two days.
