Import and export activities at the Sonamasjid land port in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj will remain suspended for eight days from May 26 to June 2 due to the Eid-ul-Azha holiday. The information was confirmed by Arif Uddin Iti, general secretary of the Sonamasjid Importers and Exporters Group, who said the decision was taken jointly with the Sonamasjid C&F Agents Association. All port operations are scheduled to resume on June 3.

During the closure, passenger movement through the Sonamasjid immigration route between the two countries will continue daily, including on Eid day. According to Kamal Khan, operations manager of Panama Sonamasjid Port Link Limited, limited internal activities such as loading, unloading, warehousing, and transportation will continue on a restricted scale.

The temporary suspension aims to allow workers and stakeholders to observe the religious festival, while ensuring essential internal operations remain minimally functional.
