Govt body recommends closure of 3 land ports. The government has decided to close three inactive land ports along the Bangladesh-India border and suspend operations at another citing the absence of trade activity immigration service and supporting infrastructure. The land ports slated for closure are Chilahati in Nilphamari, Doulatganj in Chuadanga and Tegamukh in Rangamati. Operations at Balla land port in Habiganj will be suspended due to underdevelopment on the Indian side. The decision was made during an inter-ministerial meeting held on July 28, chaired by Planning Ministry Adviser Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud and attended by representatives from the Planning Division, Shipping Ministry, National Board of Revenue, Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission and other relevant agencies.
