Petrapole :Even holidays gave way to initiative and desire. Especially when it came to Padma Hilsa. On Wednesday, due to the holiday on the occasion of Vishwakarma Puja, the transportation of goods through the Petrapole-Benapole check post was closed.
This time, truck traffic in Bengal was also stopped on this day and the owners performed puja. Meanwhile, Bangladeshi exporters sent 37.46 tons of water-rich rice in 8 trucks on Tuesday. The trucks reached the checkpost late at night.
The importers, upon receiving the news, tried to clear the goods on Tuesday night. But the night dragged on as the paperwork was being completed. Meanwhile, the checkpost was supposed to close at 6 am.
Although it is well packed with ice, if you wait a whole day, the fish can go bad. There was another argument from the importers on this side. The import of Padma hilsa should start on the auspicious day of Vishwakarma Puja. Can’t it be done for the holidays?Arrangements were made for trucks to bring hilsa from the border to Kolkata. The check post staff were persuaded to start work. Upon receiving the news, Bangladesh Deputy High Commissioner Sikder Ashraful Islam rushed from Kolkata
