Export and import activities through the Bhomra land port came to a halt Sunday due to indecision of Indian C&F Agent Association.Kazi Naushad Delwar Raju, general secretary of Bhomra C&F Agent Association, told journalists that it was decided in a joint meeting of Bhomra Customs authorities, BDR, Bhomra C&F Agent Association and Indian C&F Agent Association on September 17 to submit an invoice and other necessary documents along with each goods-laden truck. Export-import activities could not be held on the day as India's Ghozadanga C&F Agent Association declined to give necessary documents along with their goods laden trucks carrying their goods to Bangladesh. Shahjahan Kabir, Assistant Commissioner of Bhomra Customs, admitted the incident saying that export-import activities were halted though local customs functioned as usual.
