The Land Ports Authority of India has begun laying the groundwork for a Tk200 crore project to expand the Sutarkandi trade centre in Assam’s Karimganj, 45km away from Sylhet, to boost Indo-Bangla trade. The project is scheduled to start within two months.
According to sources, the authorities concerned cleared 75 acres of adjacent land to the existing trade centre already for its extension.
Karimganj District Exporters and Importers Association President Amaresh Roy said: “The trade centre expansion will strengthen business ties between South Asian countries.”
Currently, Sutarkandi’s trade centre houses a bank, a post office, a conference hall, a telecom office, a transhipment platform, a warehouse, a canteen and other facilities.
