Major relief to textile exporters for congestion on Bangladesh border

摘要

Petrapole and Benapole (Bangladesh side) Land Customs Stations will now be made operational 7 days a week from 1st January, 2014. This move came in the wake of Union Minister of Textile Dr. K.S.Rao writing to Union Finance Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram about the congestion at Bangladesh border. Various exporters had raised this issue with the Indian Textiles Minister in a recent meeting. "The move will ease off the way for trade between the two countries and it will especially benefit the textiles sectors of both the countries," said Dr. Rao.
