India and Bangladesh have agreed to operate the Petrapole-Benapole Integrated Check Post (ICP) round the clock all through the week from August 1, an official statement said on Monday.
This will expedite clearance of cargo and, hence boost the bilateral trade between the two countries, it added.
The Petrapole-Benapole ICP is a major route for India-Bangladesh bilateral trade. Land Ports Authority of India (LPAI) and Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), the implementing agencies on the Indian side, have issued necessary instructions in this regard.
