The country has imported 500 tonnes of green chilli from India through Benapole Land Port in the last two days to meet local demand amid the high price of this daily essential.
Benapole and Petrapole land ports were shut for five days due to Durga Puja. After the opening of the closure, the shipment of around 400 tonnes of green chilli came on Monday.
Importers have released the chilli from the port by 56 trucks.
Another shipment of around 100 tonnes of green chilli reached Benapole port by 12 trucks by 2:00 pm on Tuesday.
