Members of the West Dinajpur Chamber of Commerce (WDCC) have recently sent a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging them to start the international roadways export trade with Bangladesh through the Indo-Bangladesh border at Radhikapur in Kaliyaganj in North Dinajpur district.
WDCC, the organisation of traders from both North and South Dinajpur districts, has also informed Mr Modi and Mr Shah that Radhikapur was well connected with Bangladesh through roads and that there is an existing railway export zone set up at Radhikapur with Bangladesh.
“There is also adequate road infrastructure between the two countries in that area,” a WDCC member said. According to the General Secretary of the WDCC, Shankar Kundu, former union information and broadcasting minister and Congress MP from Raiganj, Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi, had earlier taken initiatives to set up an international roadways export zone with Bangladesh at Radhikapur.
