Trade between India and Bangladesh has come to a halt this afternoon amid unrest in Bangladesh due to large-scale protests, leading to the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday, traders report.<\/p>\n
The Bangladeshi government declared a three-day trade holiday, excluding essential services, through an official notification on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to Ujjal Saha, secretary of the West Bengal Exporters Coordination Committee, export and import activities at all land ports have been stalled due to a lack of clearance from Bangladeshi customs.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome movement was observed in the morning, but it ceased later,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The disruption in trade follows violent protests against the government of Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh over the past two days.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bangladeshi government has announced a three-day complete holiday, with the exception of essential services, thus closing the borders for business,\u201d Saha explained.<\/p>\n
Sajedur Rahman, general secretary of the Benapole C&F Staff Association, mentioned that there was some activity in the morning which halted following the news of the President\u2019s resignation and exit from the country.<\/p>\n
Benapole is situated on the Bangladesh side of the Petrapole border in West Bengal.<\/p>\n
Petrapole, the largest land port responsible for the bulk of bilateral trade, along with a few other land ports in the state, has been impacted, sources claim.<\/p>\n
Later in the day, no truck movement was reported from the Petrapole landport, according to sources.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, officials at Petrapole have reported that they have not received any communication regarding a trading halt from the government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
