UNB, Dhaka :
A border haat along Bangladesh-India border will be inaugurated on Tuesday which is expected to expedite border trade benefiting people living along the border.
The new border haat is located at Srinagar, Tripura, India and Purba Madhugram, Feni district of Bangladesh. This is the third Bangladesh-India border haat.
Opening of this border haat will herald a new chapter of cooperation in Bangladesh-India bilateral trade, said a senior official at the Commerce Ministry on Monday adding that “This haat is a symbol of our friendship”.
Bangladesh thinks border haats are contributing to the socioeconomic development of the people of the remote borders of the two countries and also reducing informal trade along the border.
Both countries are in the process of setting seven more border haats along the Tripura and Meghalaya border.
Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed, Minister of State (Independent Charge) of Commerce and Industry, India Nirmala Sitharaman, Chief Minister of Tripura Manik Sarkar and Indian High Commission in Dhaka Pankaj Saran and several other dignitaries of both Bangladesh and India will attend the inaugural ceremony.
The other two border haats are at Kalaichar (India) – Baliamari (Bangladesh) and at Balat (India) – Dolora (Bangladesh) on the Meghalaya-Bangladesh border.
Setting up of the fourth border haat at Kamlasagar (Tripura) -Tarapur Kashba (Brahmanbaria district) is in progress.
