Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai, on Thursday
inaugurated a land port at Dawki in Meghalaya along the Bangladesh
border to boost trade and tourism between the two neighbouring
countries.
The Dawki land port, which is located in the
West Jaintia Hills district, is an important project of the Central
government aimed at promoting trade, commerce and tourism between India
and Bangladesh.
The corresponding land port in Bangladesh is Tamabil, located in Sylhet district.
The
Dawki land port, which has been set up over 23 acres of land at a cost
of Rs 83.38 crore, will serve as a vital trade and transportation hub
between India and Bangladesh, facilitating the movement of goods,
people, and vehicles from across the border.
Addressing the
inaugural function, Rai said that the land port has been made keeping in
mind the requirements of the two neighbouring countries, adding that
the main aim is to bring together all the agencies and stakeholders
under a single roof.
The inaugural function was also attended by
Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Sniawbhalang Dhar, Indian High
Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Kumar Verma, Chairman of Land Port
Authority of Bangladesh Mohd Alamgir, and other senior officials of the
Meghalaya government.
