The Foreign Trade Chamber of Commerce of Meghalaya, a conglomeration of limestone exporters, met with Home Minister Lahkmen Rymbui to press for a further opening up of the border with Bangladesh.
Currently, only 250 trucks are allowed to exit Meghalaya at the Land Customs Station in Dawki, which is less than 15 percent of the trucking capacity.
Khongsit informed the media that Rymbui has assured to discuss the matter with the Health Department before taking any decision, given the Covid-19 pandemic.
