Trade through Hili Land Port resumes

Export-import activities between Bangladesh and India through the Hili land port in Dinajpur resumed on Saturday after a two-day holiday on the occasion of India’s Republic Day.

Abdur Rahman Liton, president of Hili Customs C&F Agents Association, said that trade via the land port was suspended on January 26 and 27 due to India's 74th Republic Day and weekly government holiday, reports UNB.

“Export and import of goods via the port has restarted. Vehicles coming from India with goods have started entering the land port since noon,” said Abdur Rahman.

However, the movement of travellers through the land port has been as usual, said Md Badiuzzaman, in-charge of the Hili immigration check post.
