Dibrugarh in Assam has dispatched the first international cargo shipment from the Bogibeel bridge to Bangladesh since India's independence. The move marks a new milestone in cross‑border trade between the two neighbours.
Dibrugarh, a key commercial hub in Assam, dispatched the first international cargo shipment from the Bogibeel bridge to Bangladesh, a first since India became independent in 1947.
The cargo crossed the Brahmaputra River via the Bogibeel bridge and entered Bangladesh through the established land border crossing, demonstrating the bridge’s capability to handle cross‑border freight.
Transport officials said the successful movement underscores the potential for faster, more efficient logistics between the two countries, which could boost bilateral trade volumes.
State authorities plan to use the Bogibeel route for regular cargo services, aiming to reduce transit time and costs for businesses in the Northeast region.
