Bangladesh will pursue India for the establishment of dedicated ports on both sides of the frontier for facilitating imports of commercial vehicles from its next-door neighbour. Shipping minister Shajahan Khan will discuss the issue with Indian officials when he visits India shortly. Almost 90 per cent of commercial vehicles in Bangladesh are imported from India mainly through Petrapole-Benapole ports, said importers. Such a port can be dedicated for importing vehicles, they suggested. The shipping minister will hold a meeting with Indian high-ups during his upcoming visit to Kolkata for resolving the problems related to the land ports.
