Agartala,
Jul 3 (IANS): Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, six border checkposts along the 4,096 km India-Bangladesh borders would remain open for three days a week for the movement of people between the two countries, officials said on Friday.
An Indian government official said that for people returning to Bangladesh from India, a no objection certificate (NOC), Covid negative report and a quick response code with 72-hour validity would be mandatorily required.
Both India and Bangladesh have restricted the normal movement of people between the two countries since March last year, but allowed the trade to continue as usual, adhering to the standard operating procedures (SOPs).
