Jharkhand-West Bengal border reopened after 24-hour closure

Jharkhand-West Bengal border reopened after 24-hour closure

The Hindu
Saturday, September 21, 2024 6:06 AM GMT

West Bengal-Jharkhand border reopens after 24-hour closure due to flooding, allowing trucks for inter-state trade.

“After remaining closed for around 24 hours, the West Bengal-Jharkhand border has been reopened for the movement of trucks for inter-State trade,” officials said on Saturday (September 21, 2024).

The West Bengal government had closed the border on Thursday evening (September 19, 2024) after the release of water by Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) from its dams located along the inter-State boundary with Jharkhand, causing flooding in districts of south Bengal.

"The inter-State border has opened and thousands of goods-laden trucks stranded on NH-2 and NH-6 have left for West Bengal," an Jharkhand government official said.

Truck operators in West Bengal said that the border has opened but it will take some time to clear the 20-25-km-long queue of trucks stranded along the border.

Mamata Banerjee calls floods ‘man-made’, says water released to put Bengal in ‘trouble’

The closure, which was scheduled to continue for three days, led to the stranding of thousands of trucks, including those carrying perishable goods from northern States and even emergency services were affected.

Reacting to the development, Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari said in a post on X, "Mamata Banerjee caves in to the insurmountable pressure created by the consolidated efforts of @HMOIndia, @NHAI_Official, @MORTHIndia and the resilience of the People of Jharkhand who started agitating against her for blocking the vehicles going from Jharkhand to WB."
