He said, "On the occasion of Holy Shab-e-Barat, all activities of the port including import and export of goods from India are closed. Import-export activities will resume from Tuesday morning."

Hili Immigration Officer-in-Charge (OC) Ashraful Islam said, "Despite the closure of import and export through Hili port on the occasion of the Holy Shab-e-Barat, passengers with passports from the two countries can pass normally through this checkpost."
