Despite ongoing political turmoil in Bangladesh, trade between India and the neighbouring country through land ports in West Bengal is expected to normalise soon while some movements of goods via one of these facilities were reported on Wednesday, officials said.
A meeting between the land port authorities of the two countries is scheduled on Wednesday at South Asiaโs largest land port Petrapole in West Bengalโs North 24 Parganas district, which is โexpected to provide clarity on transportation of goodsโ, the officials said.ย
The Director General of the Border Security Force was also in Petrapole on Tuesday to review the situation along the international boundary in the wake of the crisis in Bangladesh.
โTrucks are getting ready, and some cargo movement via Ghojadanga has started for the Bangladeshi side. This is possible because the situation in Bhomra in the neighbouring country, the opposite side of Ghojadanga, remains stable,โ Carrying & Forwarding Agents Welfare Association office bearer Joydev Sarkar said.ย
