The New Year brings good news for Bangladeshi travellers.
People can go to Siliguri in India directly by bus as the neighbouring countries have agreed to open a new Dhaka-Siliguri-Dhaka bus route, officials said.
Officials concerned are now working on the protocol and the agreement to be signed by the countries, and hope to start bus services soon after land connectivity between Bangladesh and India resumes.
Once the operation starts, it will be the sixth direct bus route between the countries. We have received Indian proposal in this regard recently and are now scrutinising all necessary aspects, said Sultana Yasmin, a deputy secretary of Road Transport and Highway Division, which looks after connectivity issues.
