Chapainawabganj, Oct 8(UNB) - In observance of the Sharadiya Durga Puja, all import-export activities at the Sonamasjid Land Port will remain suspended for six consecutive days, from October 9 to October 14.
 
Normal trade operations are scheduled to resume on the morning of October 15, confirmed Mamun Or Rashid, General Secretary of the Sonamasjid Land Port Import-Export Group on Tuesday.
 
During this period, while trade operations will be halted, passengers holding valid passports will still be able to travel between Bangladesh and India through the port's immigration checkpoint. The decision to suspend trade has been coordinated with authorities at India's Mahadipur Land Port, who notified their Bangladeshi counterparts in advance via official correspondence.
 
However, port officials have clarified that loading and unloading of goods already present within the port premises will continue uninterrupted throughout the suspension period.
