Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi will jointly inaugurate the second Integrated Check Post (ICP) along the Benapole-Petrapole part of Bangladesh-India border today, reports UNB.
The prime ministers of the two countries will join the inauguration ceremony from Dhaka and New Delhi through videoconferencing at 5 pm, said an official.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to join from Kolkata.
Both countries think the Integrated Check Post will facilitate easy movement of goods and passengers across the border.
The Integrated Check Post at Agartala along the Akhaura-Agartala was the first of seven Land Custom Stations along the Bangladesh-India border, being upgraded by the Land Port Authority of India. It was inaugurated in November, 2013, according to the foreign ministry.
