The Foundation stone for Tripura’s third Border Haat was laid at a zero point of border connecting India’s Kamalpur and Bangladesh’s Kurmaghat.
Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, Bangladesh Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi, and senior officials of both countries were present at the foundation stone laying programme.
Two Border Haats, one at Kamalasagar in Sepahijala district and the other at Srinagar in the south district are already operational in Tripura.
Border Haats are weekly markets constructed on zero line of India’s boundary with Bangladesh and attended by a maximum of 50 vendors from each side.
Residents staying within 5-km from the border can enter the marketplace for shopping of selected items.
