Trade thru' Hili land port resumes


Export-import activities through Hili land port resumed Saturday after three days with the Indian Exporters and C&F Agents Association calling off the strike.

The land port remained virtually paralysed from Wednesday after the association resorted to strike to protest the Indian Customs decision to impose extra VAT on export items to Bangladesh.

Following fruitful negotiations with Indian authorities, the association General Secretary Ashok Kumar Mondal in a letter to Bangla Hilly Customs C&F Agent president and general secretary conveyed the decision to call off the strike and to resume normal activities.
