Trade between Bangladesh and India through the Benapole landport resumed this morning (14 October) after a five-day closure marking Durga Puja, the largest religious festival of the Hindu community.
Shamsur Rahman, president of the Benapole Clearing & Forwarding agent, said the land port again became vibrant with activities.
Hundreds of Indian trucks carrying goods started entering the land port in the morning as those were stranded at the Indian end for the last five days, he said.
