Import and export activities at Burimari land port in Lalmonirhat will remain suspended for four consecutive days from Tuesday due to India’s West Bengal Legislative Assembly elections.
The decision was confirmed on Monday by Burimari C&F Agents Association General Secretary ASM Niaz Nahid.
In a notice, the association said that the District Magistrate of Cooch Behar in West Bengal issued an order to suspend operations at Changrabandha in India and Burimari land port in Bangladesh from April 21 to April 23, citing the election schedule.
As a result, trade activities at the port will remain closed from Tuesday to Thursday. Combined with the weekly holiday on Friday, the port will remain shut for a total of four days, and normal operations will resume on Saturday (April 25).
Following the directive, the Burimari C&F Agents Association has informed all relevant offices and traders.
Association General Secretary ASM Niaz Nahid said all types of import-export activities will remain suspended during the closure period and notices have already been circulated.
Burimari land port immigration Sub-Inspector Saifur Rahman said Bangladeshi students currently in India will not be allowed to travel during the period, but passengers travelling for medical purposes and those heading to Bhutan and Nepal will be able to use the route.
