India is not able to take passengers through Akhaura land port in Brahmanbaria. The Agartala land port on the other side has been closed for passenger traffic since 8:30 am on Tuesday due to a server error. However, special arrangements are being made to allow passengers with air tickets to enter India. In this situation, about 100 passengers are stranded at Akhaura land port.
Dewan Morshedul Haque, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Akhaura Landport Immigration Police, said that after 12 passengers entered India in the morning, the Agartala immigration authorities asked to suspend the passage of passengers. Through BSF we are told not to send any more passengers.
Quoting relevant sources there, he said, suddenly there was an error in the server of Agartala Immigration. The technical team has been informed to fix the error. However, nothing has been informed about how soon the passenger traffic will be normal. However, those who have flight tickets under special arrangements, i.e. have very little time to board the flight, have been asked to send them.
It should be noted that Akhaura land port is one of the means of communication between Bangladesh and Northeast India by land. Every day 7-800 passengers pass through this port. Last month, the Akhaura land port was shut down due to an error in its servers.
