Amid unrest in Bangladesh and continued reports of atrocities against Hindus in the country, the Exporters & Importers Association of Assam's Sribhumi district has decided to suspend all trade with Bangladesh through the Sutarkandi land port.
The trade between India and Bangladesh through Sutarkandi Land Port in Assam's Karimganj district has witnessed a remarkable increase in the past couple of years.
Ahead of the second phase of polling in Assam for the 18th Lok Sabha, on April 26, the ruling BJP in the state has set its hopes of retaining the prized Karimganj constituency on the development of public infrastructure to support trade.
