Business Desk :
Increased export pressure at the Bangladesh side of Benapole-Petrapole Port has continued to cause heavy traffic congestion in the area since it started 20 days ago.
Transport workers are suffering immensely as they have had to wait for days inside their vehicles, reports bdnews24.com.
“I came to Benapole from Dhaka carrying export goods on Sept 12. But I still have not managed to enter India. There are no arrangements for living, eating and using toilets here. It is very difficult,” said Rahmat Ali, a truck driver stuck at the port.
In addition to drivers, locals and commuters in the area have also suffered due to the gridlock, which stretched about five kilometres from Jessore-Benapole main road to the Rural Electrification Office at Sharsha Sadar Upazila on Tuesday.
