Integrated check-post to come up at Petrapole this year - The Economic Times
AGARTALA: The third integrated check post will come up at Benapole-Petrapole point of India-Bangladesh border by August, a member of Land Ports Authority of India said today.
"We are hoping that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be here in month of August to inaugurate the checkpost which is currently under construction," Member of the Land Ports Authority of India Anil Bamba said.
Of the seven proposed integrated check posts in the country, two are already operational -- one at Attari bordering Pakistan and another at Agartala (Akhaura) bordering Bangladesh.
The rest five are under construction, including the one at Petrapole along the Bangladesh border, Bamba said.
He said while at Petrapole over Rs 20,000 crore business is annually transacted between the two countries, "we are hoping once the integrated check post comes up, business is likely to increase."
