Goods trucks have not moved since Sunday, with the Bangladeshi side of Petrapole land port remaining non-functional due to a governmentdeclared holiday, except for emergency services.
Petrapole, located in Bongaon in North 24 Parganas district, serves as South Asia’s largest land port and plays a crucial role in facilitating trade between India and Bangladesh, with hundreds of trucks crossing daily under normal circumstances.
Meanwhile, services of the Maitree Express, connecting Kolkata with the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, will continue to remain suspended till Tuesday, Eastern Railway said, citing operational reasons.
