Bangladesh allows transit for foodgrains for northeast India
Nagaland Post | IANS | Agartala, May 25 ()

“Due to shortage of rail wagons, inadequate storage facilities and various other bottlenecks, the northeastern states have been suffering from poor supply of food grains for most part of the year, especially during the monsoon,” the minister said.
