The operational activities of Sonamasjid Land Port will remain suspended for six days at a stretch on the occasion of celebrating Durga Puja, the largest religious festival of the Hindu community, starting from today.
Harun-Or-Rashid, President of Sonamasjid Land Port C&F Agent Association, said activities of the country's second largest land port will resume on October 17 after the Puja celebration is over.
The decision has been taken unanimously by both business leaders of the two countries, he added.
Assistant Customs Commissioner of the Port Mominul Islam said import-export activities of the port will remain suspended until Saturday. The import-export activities will resume on Sunday.
He, however, said immigration of the passport-holding passengers of both the countries remained suspended through the port for long time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
