Import and export activities between Bangladesh and India through Benapole land port remained suspended on Saturday as India observed its Independence Day.
Trade operations were halted from Saturday morning due to the public holiday in India.
However, passenger movement between the two countries through the Benapole-Petrapole immigration checkpoint remained normal.
Aminul Haque, vice-president of the Benapole Port Importers and Exporters Association, said trading activities were suspended as India observed its Independence Day.
“Import and export operations will resume as usual from Sunday morning,” he said.
Saiful Rahman, Officer-in-Charge of Benapole Checkpost Immigration Police, said passport-holding passengers continued to cross the border normally.
