Imports, exports to be suspended for 6 days through BenapoleImports and exports through Jashore’s Benapole Land Port will remain suspended for six days during Durga Puja. Hilsa exports to India, however, will face no interruption. “Although import and export will remain suspended during the holiday, passenger movement will continue as usual.”Md Shamim Hossain, director (Traffic) at the Benapole Port, said both Bangladeshi and Indian exporters have been notified of the suspension. He explained that port and customs services will continue, and empty Indian trucks will be allowed to return after unloading. Authorities have warned of possible traffic congestion at Petrapole and Benapole after the holiday, with hundreds of laden trucks waiting to cross the border once trade resumes.
