Severe waterlogging at Benapole Land Port has damaged imported goods stored in multiple warehouses, prompting traders to seek compensation from authorities.
Continuous heavy rainfall over the past two days caused floodwaters to inundate the facility, with traders blaming poor drainage infrastructure for the extent of the damage.
The incident at Benapole, a critical land border crossing for trade with India, adds to a growing list of weather-related disruptions affecting Bangladesh's logistics network.
The damage to imported goods raises immediate concerns for supply chain continuity and potential cost pass-throughs for local importers.
This development follows recent reports of significant operational delays at Chattogram port, the country's primary maritime gateway.
Heavy rainfall has previously disrupted cargo handling at the outer anchorage of Chattogram, slowing container delivery and hampering customs clearance for several consecutive days.
