The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has placed immediate port restrictions on certain goods imported from Bangladesh. This includes items like ready-made clothes and processed food, which can only enter India through specific seaports. The move follows a directive from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The decision came after Bangladesh’s interim Chief Adviser, Muhammad Yunus, referred to India’s northeastern states as “landlocked” during a speech in China. Indian officials saw this as challenging the region’s connectivity and sovereignty. In response, the government in New Delhi introduced the port restrictions as a corrective step. An official press release confirmed the changes and emphasized the need to protect national interests and maintain regional respect.
