Two border haats one at Kamalasagar in Sepahijala district and another at Srinagar in South Tripura district are operational in the northeastern state.
Both were shut due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The local administrations, however, have been asked to review the coronavirus situation and open the border haats by convening a joint meeting with the Bangladesh authorities.
Border haats are aimed at facilitating businesses in the immediate vicinity of the international border. People residing within 2 km of the border are eligible to buy and sell products in the border haats.
