Sonamasjid port trade to remain closed for 7 days

Export-import between Bangladesh and India through Chapainawabganj’s Sonamasjid land port will remain suspended for seven days beginning from April 8 on the occasion of the holy Eid-ul-Fitr and Pahela Baishakh, the first day of the Bangla calendar.

However, the movement of travellers through the land port will remain as usual.

Harun-Or-Rashid, president of Sonamasjid Land Port C&F Agents Association, confirmed the matter saying that all kinds of business activities through the land port between the countries will remain halted for a week.

The trade through the land port will resume from April 15, he said, adding that India’s Mahdipur Land Port Exporters Association was informed about the matter.

He also said that passenger movement through check posts will remain normal despite suspension of trade.
