Export and import activities between Bangladesh and India through Akhaura land port remained suspended since Saturday morning due to strike enforced by workers in Agortala of India.
Sources said huge goods are exported to Agortala, capital of Tripura state, through the land port from Bangladesh every day.
The Indian traders said they are facing enormous problems since long to carry the goods to different destinations due to dilapidated condition of roads and highways and lack of storage facilities.
They said Agortala Workers Association called the indefinite strike demanding immediate reconstruction and renovation of the worn out roads and highways and adequate storage facilities for the imported goods.
As a result, export-import activities through the land port remained suspended since Saturday morning.
Akhaura port officer Mohammad Abul Bashar confirmed the suspension of the port activities due to the strike by laborers in Agortala.
