Agartala, October 28 (TIWN): Despite booming advertisements of tourism for Northeast India and Bangladesh in several media, the specific sector yet remained as a hurdle for the tourists across Indo-Bangla border through Akhaura check post due to unpardonable reasons in Tripura on recent months.

The primary factor playing behind such inexcusable burden for the tourists is to be blamed on the goods vehicles’ movement through Akhaura check post to Bangladesh and vice versa to state capital, which is indirectly hampering the tourism business of the state as being an overlooked chapter to conduct smooth functioning of bilateral trade.

Around 50 tourists are estimated to have had head counts to move across the Akhaura check post every month that has been boosting the state’s tourism industry eventually, by and large. However, this industry still remained subdued for blinded reluctant measures undertaken by Tripura customs department on patting of administration for incorporating extra trade steps affecting tourism sector indirectly.

The Exim policies have been exploited by many traders in state to utilize governmental recommendations, which have left an impact on the international highway through state capital where loaded lorries remain stuck on the check post for days and months to leave a unorganized and chaotic scenario at Akhaura check post on both sides of the border.

Moreover, the tourism business looks absurd when a tourist out the few mentioned, “Its miserable to cross the border and come to Tripura, and then view such havoc among the populace dwelling in slums near an international border”.

The fact cannot be hidden, though the state government has overlooked on this subject to remove the slum dwellers near Akhaura check post in state. And administrative move to improve the tourism sector in state has left pathetic impact on certain section of tourists who visits the state round the year.
