UNB, Benapole :
Export-import activities between Bangladesh and India through Benapole land port resumed on Monday after two days of suspension following a strike called by several port users’ organizations. The protesters withdrew their indefinite strike, which was enforced on Saturday, after a fruitful meeting with the customs authorities. The workers of five port users’ organisations joined their work around 9:00am on Monday.
On March 2, customs officials seized huge Indian contraband goods including phensidyl, explosives, cigarette, current nets, and cloths worth Tk 50 lakh from two Indian trucks.
