Kamalasagar-Tarapur border haat: Repair work begins, expected to reopen by August
The repairing work of the Kamalasagar-Tarapur border haat located in the Sepahijala district of Tripura has started, likely to be completed within ten days and is expected to reopen by August, which was shut during the Covid-19 pandemic, said Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Bishalgarh, Binoy Bhusan Das.
A total of Rs 13 lakh will be spent on the repairing work of the Kamalasagar-Tarapur border haat which includes repairing of sheds, fences, electricity and water lines. Once the repair jobs are completed, a joint inspection will be conducted to take a final call on the reopening of the border haat, Binoy Bhusan Das added.
Once reopened, the Tarapur Border Haat will provide a platform for registered traders from nearby villages of India and Bangladesh to engage in cross-border trade. The haat will accommodate 25 traders from each country every Sunday, fostering economic cooperation and enhancing people-to-people connections between the two nations.
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.
