Deputy Commissioner of Customs at Bhomra Land Port Abul Kalam Azad said that the export-import activities began this morning after nine days Eid vacation. Some 350 to 400 goods laden trucks used to cross the land port every day, he said.

The port has been playing a very import role in exporting and importing goods between Bangladesh and India and the government got revenue amounting to Taka 2.5 to 3 crore from this port every day, Abul Kalam Azad added.
