Sherpur, Nov 25 (UNB) - The taxes and revenue station in border area of Nakugaon in Nalitabari upazila was upgraded to full-fledged land port on Wednesday.

The Ministry of Inland Water Transport, Port and Shipping, in a circular Wednesday declared Nakugaon a full-fledged land port.

Ministry sources said Shipping Minister Shahjahan Khan will visit Nakugaon and formally inaugurate the newly-upgraded land port early next month.

During his visit to Nakugaon on December 12 last year, the minister announced that the border tax and revenue station would be turned into a full-fledged land port soon.

With the upgrading, the land port will help expand trade with India, Bhutan and Nepal and also facilitate movement of passport holders of the four countries.

Presently coal, stone and limestone are imported through Nakugaon from India`s north-eastern Meghalaya state.

The four-nation trade would fully resume soon after the inauguration, port sources said.
