“We have learned about the restrictions through media reports and social media,” Bashir Uddin told reporters today at the Secretariat in Dhaka

India has imposed restrictions on the import of garments, agro-processed foods, furniture and other goods from Bangladesh through land ports, a move likely to disrupt trade flows and increase logistical challenges for exporters.

The Gubrakura-Karaitali land port in Haluaghat upazila of Mymensingh could go into full-fledged operation next month as the construction of all necessary infrastructure was completed last month, according to officials.
