DHUBRI, Dec 31 - In a bid to boost trade between Bangladesh and India, the Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh Tanvir Mansur formally opened a river route between India and Bangladesh by flagging of a commercial cargo service between the two countries in Dhubri recently. Speaking on the occasion, the Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh said that Indo-Bangla trade has increased manifold in the wake of improving relations between the countries and the new route is likely to give a fresh impetus to bilateral trade. It may be mentioned that on July this year the first cargo vessel from Dhubri to Bangladesh was introduced.
