Further, it has been reported that goods traffic through border crossings between India and Bangladesh, falling in the State of West Bengal, has still not resumed," Union Home Secretary said in his letter to Chief Secretary of West Bengal.According to MHA, a large number of trucks carrying essential supplies, bound for Bangladesh, are stranded at different border crossing points."A number of drivers of such vehicles, while returning from Bangladesh, have also not been allowed to cross the border, and are stranded in Bangladesh," it said while asking the state to allow transportation immediately.Bhalla also mentioned that in a separate letter written to the state it had been clearly spelt out that no State/UT shall stop the movement of cargo for cross-border land trade under treaties with neighbouring countries."As mentioned in my aforesaid letter dated 24.04.2020, the unilateral action on the part of Government of West Bengal to stop the cross land border movement of essential goods would have larger implications for the Indian Government with regard to its legally binding international commitments. This act of the State Government of West Bengal amounts to a violation of the orders issued by MHA under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 as well as Articles 253, 256 and 257 of the Constitution of India," the MHA has said.( With inputs from ANI )
