AGARTALA: The Kamalasagar-Kasba border haat (weekly market) in Tripura‘s Sepahijala district along the India-Bangladesh border, which was shut during the Covid-19 pandemic, is expected to reopen by next month, an official said on Tuesday. Vendors from both sides sell their ware at the haat.
The border haat at Srinagar in South Tripura‘s Sabroom subdivision has already reopened in May.
“Today, the joint border haat management committee held a meeting at Kasba and discussed reopening the trade facility at the earliest. In the meeting, the committee decided to undertake repair work at the haat before reopening it,” sub-divisional magistrate (SDM), Bishalgarh, Binoy Bhusan Das, told PTI over the telephone.
An Indo-Bangla joint team will visit the Kamalasagar-Kasba border haat by next week to prepare an estimate of the repair works.
“Once the repair jobs are completed, a joint inspection will be conducted in the first week of July to take a final call on the reopening of the border haat.
“The Bangladesh delegation was positive on reopening the border haat and we are hopeful to do it by the last week of July. There has been a growing demand for immediate reopening of the Kamalasagar-Kasba border haat,” Das said.
