The repairing work of the Kamalasagar-Tarapur border haat located in the Sepahijala district of Tripura will begin soon. Once the repair jobs are completed, a joint inspection will be conducted to take a final call on the reopening of the border haat, said an official Sunday.
The Kamalasagar-Tarapur border haat was shut during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is expected to reopen by the end of July, said Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Bishalgarh Binoy Bhusan Das.
Border haats are weekly markets along the India-Bangladesh border where vendors from both countries sell their products. In Tripura, there are two border haats which are the Srinagar border haat situated in the South district of Tripura, and the Kamalasagar-Tarapur border haat located in the Sepahijala district.
It is to be mentioned here that on July 15 officials from both countries have conducted an assessment of the Kamalasagar-Tarapur border haat market.
