What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

India and Bangladesh resumed joint working group trade discussions in New Delhi after a three-year gap. During the talks, Bangladesh sought the easing of port restrictions and the removal of non-tariff barriers affecting exports like readymade garments and processed food. India, in turn, requested that Bangladesh lift curbs on yarn shipments through land routes. Meanwhile, Sheikh Hasina warned that Bangladesh faces a serious constitutional crisis.
