Unrest affects Indo-Bangla cross border trade

DHAKA: Political turmoil in polls-bound Bangladesh has affected cross border trade with India, putting a halt on exchange of businesses between the two nations.

On November 25, the Election Commission announced that elections would be held on January 05.

The BNP has rejected any attempt to hold an election until it is satisfied a neutral interim administration is in place without Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The strike on Thursday adversely affected the truck drivers, especially their daily wages. Stationary trucks loaded with goods were seen at the parking area, bearing the brunt of the strike.
