Authorities at Chattogram Port have formed special task forces and teams to ensure uninterrupted cargo handling during the seven-day government holiday that began on May 25 for Eid-ul-Azha. The initiative aims to keep the country’s main import-export gateway operational despite the extended break.
BGMEA Director Rakibul Alam Chowdhury urged port and customs officials not to treat the holiday as a complete shutdown, warning that production could face major disruptions otherwise. BICDA Secretary General Ruhul Amin Sikder Bipul said the long post-Eid holiday period poses challenges for importers and exporters, calling for all stakeholders to remain active.
Commodore Amin Ahmed Abdullah, Member (Marine and Harbor) of Chattogram Port, said two special task forces will oversee cargo unloading at outer anchorage and operations at jetties and yards, while another team will handle security. Assistant Commissioner Sharif Md. Al Amin of Chattogram Customs House confirmed that sufficient personnel will continue working during the holidays to maintain customs operations, emphasizing interdepartmental cooperation.
