Handover of Karnaphuli EPZ's CSD in final hours

The process of returning the Halishahar Central Storage Depot (CSD) to the Food Department from the Karnaphuli Export Processing Zone to increase food grain storage capacity in Chittagong has reached the last stage.
The Karnaphuli EPZ authority on July 19 sent a letter to the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) to take steps to vacate all the 35 warehouses, now full of food grains stored by different private importers. The deadline ends today.
The EPZ authority sent the letter following a recent directive from the food ministry to hand over the CSD within the shortest possible time.
Due to the move, private importers faced a tremendous problem in storing their imported goods.
General Manager (GM) Abdur Shukkur Mian of Karnaphuli EPZ said: “We have to return the CSD to the Food Department according to the government decision.”
