In a significant stride forward, the Bangladesh government has formally unveiled four pivotal transit and trans-shipment corridors catering to the state of Tripura.

Santana Chakma, Tripura’s Minister for Industry and Commerce, made the announcement, exuding optimism about the myriad potential advantages this decision offers.
The newly designated routes encompass Chittagong Port Akhaura Agartala, Mongla Port Akhaura – Agartala, Chittagong Port Bibirbazar – Srimantapur, and Mongla Port Bibirbazar – Srimantapur.
