Dhaka, July 15 -- For three months, trade with Myanmar through the Teknaf Land Port in Cox's Bazar has been suspended. As a result, hundreds of trucks full of export goods are wasting away in the port area, hitting importers and exporters hard.

It remains unclear when this standstill will end, and the port's daily wage workers, truck drivers, and sailors are spending their days in uncertainty. Many of them are wrapping up their businesses in Teknaf and shifting their operations to the port in Chattogram, reports bdnews24.com.

The last time a wooden boat arrived from Rakhine State's Maungdaw, currently under the control of the Arakan Army, was Apr 12, sources say. Since then, trade at the Teknaf-Maungdaw border has been suspended.
