All activities at Akhaura land port have come to a halt due to union parishad elections set to be held in the area on Sunday.
'There'll be no trading through the port on Saturday and Sunday,' port's C&F Agent Association general secretary Monir Hossain Babul told the news agency.
Babul said the port activities were suspended following a decision taken by the exporters-importers' association because of the local body elections.
'There'll no trading also on Sunday as it's a holiday in India. However, passengers can pass through the port,' he said.
Customs official Abul Bashar Chowdhury said the export-import through the land port would resume on Monday.
