Import of stone chips through Hili land port stalled for 11 days as India increases parking fees

Dhaka, February 23: Import of chips stone through the Hili land port of Dinajpur has been stopped for 11 days due to various reasons, including the increase in parking charges and overloading. The contract importers and stone traders of the port are in trouble as they are not able to supply stones in various projects. Lack of stone is likely to hamper ongoing development activities. Besides, the revenue collection of the port has decreased due to non-import of stone.
