Chief Minister of Tripura Biplab Kumar Deb and Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Riva Ganguly Das are scheduled to receive the consignment at Sonamura. The first ever export consignment from Bangladesh to Tripura through inland waterways is being used as a trial run for the operationalization of the Daudkandi (Bangladesh)-Sonamura (Tripura) Inland Waterway Protocol route. With this latest addendum, five more ports of call and two Indo Bangladesh Protocol (IBP) water routes were added. It is a great opportunity for Bangladesh to export construction materials to Tripura via this new route,” he said.
