Goods delivery halted for 20 hrs at Ctg port
Delivery of goods from the Chattogram Port remained suspended for 20 hours until yesterday afternoon as a server update of National Board of Revenue (NBR) was underway.
According to sources, more than 1,000 consignments of imported goods were stuck for 20 hours in Chattogram Port, as there was no notice issued regarding the NBR server update.
Ahsan Habib Sumon, system analyst of Chattogram Custom House, said the server update of an automated system for countrywide import-export data storage started at the main station in Singapore at 5pm on Friday and it was completed at 12:30pm yesterday.
The delivery of goods started soon after the update was completed, he added.
Altaf Hossain Bacchu, general secretary of Clearing and Forwarding Agents’ Association said, “Usually NBR and customs office issue a notice when they do server updates, but they didn’t this time, which caused a lot of problems.”
