India, Bangladesh plan to set up 16 border haats to increase trade

According to Pant, the two countries have eight haats operational, which are located across a number of northeastern states like Tripura and Meghalaya. Pant was delivering remarks at a conference focused on connectivity between India’s Northeast and Bangladesh, organized by Asian Confluence, a think-tank.

"A border haat is ‘a rough-and-ready market’ allowing ‘local people to trade in locally-grown agricultural and manufactured’ items along the border," explains Nazneen Ahmed in an article for the Observer Research Foundation, a New Delhi-based think tank.
