Passenger movement through the Akhaura international immigration check post has come to a standstill due to a strike by immigration police.
Immigration authorities stopped working at 9:30am today (7 August).
According to Md Khairul Alam, the officer-in-charge of the Akhaura international immigration check post, the strike was initiated as a response to recent attacks on police stations and the deaths of police officers.
The officers are currently facing heightened security concerns and have decided to go on strike, he added.
Due to this strike, the process of crossing over into India through the Akhaura immigration check post has been suspended, affecting many passengers and causing disruptions in cross-border travel.
