Trade between India and Bangladesh has been halted due to the ongoing regional crisis, disrupting economic activities and supply chains. The suspension of trade comes amid escalating tensions and uncertainties in the region, which have led to significant operational challenges for both countries.

The crisis has impacted key trade routes and logistical operations, affecting the movement of goods and commodities between the two nations. Ports and shipping activities have been particularly disrupted, leading to delays and cancellations of shipments.
