No activities at Akhaura port

Our Correspondent, Brahmanbaria
Export and import activities between Bangladesh and India through the Akhaura land port came to a halt yesterday morning as the workers at Agartala land port in India enforced an indefinite strike. According to Akhaura land port sources, the labour association of the port called an indefinite strike there demanding repair of damaged roads and adequate storage facilities for the imported good. Sources said huge goods are exported to Agartola, capital of Tripura state, through the land port from Bangladesh every day. The port will incur a huge loss if the strike continues for days, officials said.
