Aizawl, April 17 : The Mizoram government will open its second international trade centre near Tlabung on the Indo-Bangla border to boost bilateral trade.
This trade centre, built at the cost of Rs 27 crore, will help curb smuggling along the border with Bangladesh.
Mizoram director of trade and commerce Laltharmawia today said the final project report for setting up this trade centre would soon be sent to Delhi seeking the Centre’s approval and funds.
The director said in order to monitor the trade transactions in Tlabung, an integrated checkpost under the government’s land customs department would be set up.
Tlabung, a town on the bank of Karnafuli river on Mizoram’s southern flank, is 332km from Aizawl along the Silchar-Aizawl-Lunglei National Highway 54.
Laltharmawia also said the whole project and its ancillaries like customs office, an immigration centre, banks, post and telephone complexes and the accommodation for police and BSF would be built in three years.
Mizoram’s first international trade centre at Zokhawthang near the district headquarters town of Champhai on the state’s northeast border with Myanmar and 208km from Aizawl is expected to be inaugurated in May or June by Union commerce minister Anand Sharma.
The construction of the trade centre in Zokhawthang began in 2002 and was completed early this year at a cost of Rs 9 crore.
The delay in setting up this centre was attributed to the slow pace of construction and delay in the periodic grant of the sanctioned amount by Delhi.
The total cost of the project shot up from Rs 5 crore when it was envisaged to Rs 9 crore at its final stages because of the delay.
The Mizoram government said to facilitate a wide ranging and no-restriction border trade, a minimum customs tariff would be imposed by both the Indian and Bangladesh governments on their respective goods intended for the cross-country entry.
While such goods as ginger, orange, squash and bamboo from Mizoram will find their way into Bangladesh, goods like melamine products, cotton textiles and fish will be imported from the neighbouring country.
