India’s grant for infrastructure development will enable corridors for sub-regional connectivity among Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and India and transit of people and goods through India’s eastern neighbour. Secularism By conservative estimates, religious minorities comprise around 12% of the current population of Bangladesh. Among them, Hindus constitute 10%, Buddhists 1%, Christians 0.50% and ethnic minorities less than 1%. The Awami League, which spearheaded the Liberation War under Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, infused secularism as a guiding principle of the state along with democracy, nationalism, and socialism in the country’s 1972 Constitution. However, the party’s efforts have been intermittently reversed and overturned when other dispensations, like BNP and the military regime of General Muhammad Ershad, assumed power and formed a government. These governments played the Islamist card. In the past decade, perhaps one of the most visible positive change in the condition of the religious minorities across Bangladesh has been their increased share in government jobs. Religious minorities comprise 5-7% of government employment, and in the police force, it is about 10%. The Hasina-led Awami League government espouses the slogan “Dhormo jaar jaar, utsob shobar (Religion as per one’s own, but festivals common to all)” as a testimony of its secular values. A big success of Hasina has been the bold move to bring the war criminals of 1971 to justice. These war criminals earlier shared power with Khaleda Zia and wielded tremendous political clout during the BNP regime. Another achievement that Hasina can be credited with is that her government is engaged in a relentless battle against radicalisation. The challenges the Hasina government would have to overcome during the next five years include not falling into a Chinese debt trap, fighting corruption and strengthening institutions to maintain economic growth.

  1156. MANILA, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese naval escort fleet, composed of three vessels, arrived in Manila on Thursday for a five-day friendly visit to the Philippines, according to the Chinese Navy.
  1157. The visiting ships, including missile frigates "Wuhu" and "Handan," and supply ship "Dongpinghu" docked Thursday morning at the Manila Port, making the last port call after completing their escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and the waters off Somalia.
  1158. This is the second visit by Chinese navy ships to the country since Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte came to power in 2016. The first visit took place in April 2017 in Davao city, the home city of Duterte in the southern Philippines.
  1159. Commodore Wilfredo Burgunio, deputy commander of the Philippine Fleet, told Xinhua that he believes the visit will promote the relations between the navies. "We welcome this (visit). And we hope to have more engagements like this," he said.
  1160. The Chinese Navy will engage in a number of activities during their visit to the Philippines. They will pay courtesy calls to the Philippines' senior navy officers, hold a shipboard reception, organize a tour aboard the ships, and take part in friendly games with their Philippine Navy counterparts.
  1161. A send-off ceremony will cap off the port visit on Jan. 21.

  1296. Mohan Giri of Alwar bought a red Hero motorcycle just last month, using up his entire savings of Rs 60,000. Giri, with half a dozen malas around his neck and his beard flying in the afternoon breeze of Prayagraj, says he bought the bike to easily traverse the 32 sq km of Kumbh ground. This will be his home for 49 days of the Kumbh â€" from January 15 to March 4.
  1297. Giri, 40, is a Naga sadhu belonging to the Junna Akhara, one of the 13 Hindu religious sects that are participating in the mela. Most of the day, he remains naked, with just ashes covering his body. When he’s out on his bike, though, he wears a loincloth and throws a blanket on his shoulder. “For us, every man is a brother and every woman a sister,” he says.
  1298. Giri is not alone. Sadhus are zipping around in cars and bikes at the Kumbh ground up to the Triveni Sangam, where the Ganga, the Yamuna and mythical Saraswati meet. There are many other babas, too, on foot, with no belongings except perhaps for a chillum nestled in a fist. Every sadhu gets a roof to spend the night under and food to eat â€" gratis.
  1299. Kumbh Mela is a place of transformations: a naked sadhu becomes a biker; a city, which itself has been rechristened from Allahabad to Prayagraj, becomes the most sacred site; ordinary people become salvation seekers.
  1300. Faith invariably mingles with fortune at the Rs 4,200 crore Kumbh Mela, the costliest yet, with the budget shared equally by the Centre and the Uttar Pradesh government. The biggest gathering of the faithful â€" 12-15 crore people are expected â€" is also a space where economic activity is trigged, creating permanent infrastructure and temporary jobs, and political mantras are uttered. While sadhus are the most visible â€" going about naked or wearing saffron robes, ochre tunics and rudraksh malas wound around the head like a towering turban â€" the Kumbh is also a vast, buzzing bazaar of micro-entrepreneurs, from small restaurateurs to selfie-stick sellers. For better branding, the state government calls it Kumbh although this six-yearly fair should be called an Ardh Kumbh as against the 12-yearly Kumbh.
  1301. For 35-year-old Ashok Kumar, who has come from Delhi to sell pakoras to the devout, the branding doesn’t matter; the target is to make Rs 1 lakh over 49 days. Amid the chanting of mantras and religious hymns, a 30-year-old from Prayagraj is selling selfie sticks to devotees. “Taking a selfie after a holy dip is the new thing,” says Devendra Goswami, 30. “So everyone wants a selfie stick. I am selling about 50 sticks a day. But there are many others, too, now selling the same things as I do â€" selfie sticks and mobile power banks.” Sales are not as easy as salvation. Many sellers say the footfall at Kumbh in the first week has been lower than expected.
  1302. The officials in charge of the fair, however, claim that as many as 2 crore people took a dip in the rivers on Makar Sankranti, the first day of the Kumbh. It is also the first of three shahi snan (royal baths) â€" the other two being on Mauni Amavasya (February 4) and Basant Panchami (February 10) â€" when maximum pilgrims are expected to arrive.
  1303. The business of Kumbh has two strands. First, the Rs 4,200 crore that is pumped in by the government, particularly to build and improve infrastructure. Second, what an estimated 15 crore people, including some rich Indians and about 1 million foreign tourists, are expected to spend. There has been massive spending on infrastructure. The state government has spent on 300 kilometres of new roads, 22 pontoon bridges and parking facilities to accommodate 5,000 vehicles, among others. Most projects will benefit the city even after the dust settles on the Kumbh. Indian Railways is trying to ensure that it has the capacity to take in the humungous crowds that will be flowing in and out of its stations. At the 2013 Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, over 40 people were killed in a stampede when a foot overbridge collapsed. This time Railways has built new infrastructure worth Rs 700 crore in Prayagraj Junction, including five foot overbridges, one skywalk and four enclosures to house 10,000 pilgrims a night, in addition to a new platform with washable apron, mainly to welcome 5,000 delegates of the Indian diaspora, according to a railway spokesman in the city. “During the Kumbh period, we will run 800 special trains, six luxury tourist specials and four trains exclusively for NRIs who will come from Varanasi and return to New Delhi,” he says.
  1304. In the city airport, meanwhile, a new terminal with a handling capacity of 300 peak hour passengers was built in 11 months â€" the fastest construction by the Airports Authority of India, according to a Civil Aviation Ministry spokesman. However, construction work is still going on in the terminal, even though the interiors are furnished and used by passengers.
  1305. Pilgrims are flying in and out. The airport has 108 flight movements every week now, and according to the Civil Aviation Ministry estimates, the total number of passengers will exceed 1 lakh in the current financial year as against 45,000 in 2017-18, thanks to the Kumbh. While Air India and SpiceJet have regular Delhi-Prayagraj flights, IndiGo operates six days a week from Bengaluru, and Jet Airways connects the city to Patna, Nagpur, Indore and Lucknow.
  1306. Looking over the tents that have sprouted all over the place, a senior Mela Adhikari (an officer in charge of the mela) says: “We have spent Rs 65 crore on tents to accommodate the pilgrims. Prayagraj is now a tent city.” At the Arail Ghat, a little away from the bustle of the fair, there are luxury tents that claim to have five-star facilities.
  1307. Entrepreneurs know that crores of people are captive consumers. Marketers of Colgate-Palmolive are distributing Vedshakti toothpaste for free in a bid to counter Patanjali Ayurved’s Dant Kanti. Pepsi’s sales manager Vaishnav Srivastava is scouting for tieups with restaurant chains in the ground. “We did better business during the 2013 Kumbh. This time, the main food court has a tie up with our competitor (Coca-Cola),” says Srivastava, who is now selling the products to Meghalaya Canteen, which runs five restaurants on the mela grounds.
  1308. Political MantraThe Kumbh is also a political statement. For Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his Bharatiya Janata Party, it is the big hurrah ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. The renaming of Allahabad and the revival of the Ram Mandir agitation are part of this new game plan.
  1309. In the 2014 general elections, the BJP won 71 of 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh, and its ally Apna Dal 2, which led the way to an absolute majority for the party in Delhi. However, the recent alliance of two former political rivals, Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), has made the battle lines sharper. Against this backdrop, the Kumbh is also the location for the saffron-wearing Adityanath to send a message of Hindu consolidation, in an attempt to neutralise the impact of a new alignment of caste politics.
  1310. Being the most populous state (19.9 crore in 2011) and one of the less industrialised ones, Uttar Pradesh is believed to have the maximum unemployed and underemployed people in the country. With the Central government questioned on the issue of joblessness, the Kumbh and its run-up would create temporary job avenues and assuage a section of the unemployed youth. For the ruling party, this is an enterprise that will bring both moksha and some amount of moolah in voters’ pockets. A couple of months ahead of the poll, this is some relief, if not a big political bonanza. Dilip Kumar Shukla, a 26-year-old autorickshaw driver in the city, is looking forward to the snan days. “The Kumbh provides huge opportunities for me. There will be days like shahi snan when my income may go up 10 times.”
  1311. At Aslomal Kanhaiyalal, a store selling religious articles, bracelets and bangles, the salesman is not happy with the space allotted to him at Meena Bazaar. The mela authority has auctioned 86 shops through e-tender. “Fifteen of us have come all the way from Mathura to run the shop during the Kumbh. We are staying in a poky little place and cooking our own food. We are disappointed as we had high expections from the Kumbh,” says the salesman, waiting for sales to go up in the coming days when more and more moksha seekers will reach the Kumbh. Every pilgrim, he knows, is also a consumer.
  1312. Ramnath Patel, a 47-year-old farmer from Sarai Dangri village in eastern Uttar Pradesh, had a largish family six months back. Apart from his four children, he also owned two cows, a bull and a pair of calves. Patel had fondly named his cows Radha and Bholi. The bull was Shankar, the calves Purba and Chhote. But tragedy struck in mid-2018 when herds of abandoned cattle, roaming the streets of Sarai Dangri, entered his agricultural land and destroyed a standing wheat crop. After the disaster, Patel, too, set his animals free. “It was not easy but when others are letting loose their domestic animals who are destroying our crops, why should I keep them?” he asks.Sarai Dangri is about a dozen kilometres south of Varanasi, and the Ganga flows serenely on the south and east. Standing on his two acres of land that sports a fresh crop of bright yellow mustard flowers, the lanky farmer explained the wrenching experience of having to choose between feeding your children and feeding the cattle. “I could barely feed my children. Keeping the cows and the calves was beyond my means,” he says. And if everybody else was doing it to make ends meet, why not him, Patel asks.Stories like Patel’s are aplenty in Uttar Pradesh. In Mooradev, a few kilometres from Sarai Dangri, at least 150 abandoned cows and bulls roam the streets, damaging multiple crops and attacking and injuring children. Mooradev Gram Pradhan Ramesh Sahni himself has lost half his mustard crop. About 300 km to the west, at Mahui in Bundelkhand, villagers have a roster for night guard duties and have built watch towers (machaans) to keep an eye on stray cattle. “Just one chance will be enough for the cattle to destroy my entire crop,” says Malkhe Shrevaas, a farmer from Mahui.
  1313. An extraordinary situation is prevailing in rural India with regard to livestock. With many parts experiencing agrarian distress, farmers are under financial stress from their main vocation. While that has made it difficult for them to afford the upkeep of their livestock, the ban on cattle slaughter in several states, combined with the lethal vigilantism of cow protection gangs, have meant a complete collapse of the market for cattle, and in turn, their commercial value. This has resulted in farmers abandoning their cattle in droves, giving rise to a massive stray cattle problem that has hit headlines in recent weeks. In UP, instances of people locking up cows and bulls in school and hospital buildings have been reported.The problem of stray cattle, wandering into fields, attacking children or older people and sometimes dying and rotting on the street side, is not restricted to UP. It affects Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra â€" states that have virtually banned slaughter and sale of cattle. It’s been brewing for four years or more â€" since state governments then led by the Bharatiya Janata Party started tightening laws for protecting the cow and its progeny from slaughter at the end of their productive lives. Vigilante activism and lynching of people in the name of cow protection also made dairy farming risky, and spoilt the economics of owning a cow as an alternative farm income source. It forced the likes of Patel to release their cattle, to live and die on the streets.
  1314. In 2012, India had five million stray cattle roaming the streets. That is before the current cycle of legislative action started. India also had an estimated 40 million cows and bulls aged above 12, that are at high risk of being abandoned. Various surveys say India has 5,000 cow shelters. At 200 cows per shelter, that capacity would be barely 1 million. Given the numbers, no easy solutions are possible. The ones being deployed today by governments run on weak legs and little funds.Collapse of the MarketAbandoning unproductive cattle is not very unusual in India. In some parts of the country it is a tradition called Anna Pratha. Even young cows, when not producing milk, are released with the expectation that they would graze on public land and return to their owners when pregnant. Patel of Sarai Dangri feels he is simply following tradition. The commissioner of Animal Husbandry of Maharashtra, Kantilal Umap, admits a similar practice exists in his state as well.Practices such as Anna Pratha are easy to justify, when there are no other solutions for unproductive assets. With the fear of vigilantism, the cattle trader who would collect cattle from farmers and take them to markets has disappeared. As a result, even the markets are vanishing. Much of the unproductive cattle from UP would earlier be sent over to West Bengal, the nearest state that permits cattle slaughter. Some would also be smuggled over to Bangladesh. Markets in West Bengal have seen a drop in supplies.
  1315. Farmers in UP who spoke to ET Magazine said that earlier usually they could bribe abattoir officials into accepting cows, even though their slaughter was banned in UP. However, after government action on illegal abattoirs, that option has closed. As a result the market for productive cows has also collapsed. Krishna Kumar, a farmer from Nasirpur, Unnao, says that a milch cow that used to fetch upwards of Rs 50,000 is now available for less than Rs 15,000. “And there are no takers for a male calf even if you offer an inducement,” says Kumar. The traditional cattle fair at Unnao has also ceased.Similar stories are unfolding in other states. Islampur in southern Maharashtra’s Sangli district celebrates a festival on Kartik Purnima (mid-November), called Shambhu Appa Ke Urus. Earlier, during the festival, the area adjacent to the syncretic shrine usually saw a flourishing cattle market where between 5,000 and 8,000 animals would change hands. This year, however, there were few. Sanglibased farmer leader Raghunath Dada Patil claims as few as 150 bulls were on sale this year.67608478
  1316. Patil, also leader of farmers’ body Shetkari Sanghatana, has been a strong opponent of the Maharashtra state government’s legislation of March 2015 that banned slaughter of the cow and its progeny, and also the subsequent Central government directives on preventing cruelty to cattle and restricting the sale and transport of cattle. After the current NDA government came to power at the Centre in 2014, Patil was made a member of a NITI Aayog Expert Committee on Agriculture. He says he repeatedly stressed on removal of the laws on cow slaughter ban. Very soon he stopped getting invitations to the meetings of the committee, Patil says.Changing EconomicsPatil points out that the cost of keeping an unproductive cow at home for a farmer would be around Rs 7,500 a month, including its food and cleaning costs. He says that for a farmer tackling farm sector duress, drought and loan defaults, this is not a viable proposition.Farm distress in Maharashtra isn’t new. In March 2018, more than 20,000 (40,000 by some estimates) farmers walked 180 kilometres to Mumbai from Nashik, demanding farm loan waivers and forest rights. Ajit Navale, the main organiser of the march on behalf of the CPM-affiliated All India Kisan Sabha, hails from Akola in Ahmednagar district of eastern Maharashtra. The district is also the highest producer of milk in the state. Navale says that if a farmer makes money out of selling milk, he would take care of his cows. If that falters, there is no way out. He says: “The drop in milk prices coupled with the restrictions on cow trade have made dairy farming unviable.”The biggest change, of course, is that the mechanisation of agriculture has reduced the utility of the male animal, which used to do the job of tractor, thresher, fertiliser producer and transporter. SK Dwivedi, a professor of political science at Lucknow University, says the growing abandonment of cows is also a sign of social change, of mechanisation of agriculture and diminishing dependence on cattle. “The lives of farmers have always been intertwined with cattle. I remember, sweets were distributed and songs were sung to welcome the birth of a calf. It was considered auspicious. Such large-scale abandonment of cattle disturbs the social order,” he says.
  1317. The problem of stray cattle may not have easy solutions, and difficult ones can come about only when heads are put together and governments and people join hands.Instead, there is a bit of blame-game going on already. Patil of Shetkari Sanghatana says the Maharashtra laws banning slaughter of the cow are anti-farmer, and is calling for their repeal. Patil has already launched a political outfit to agitate for it. SP Singh Rathore, UP’s minister for animal husbandry, meanwhile, blames farmers for not taking care of cows. “Have these cows come from foreign land? Visit the house of any farmer and you will find only milch cows. Male of the species has been released. On the one hand, they want no cow to enter their fields but their own cow is set free to roam around. I would appeal to the farmers not to abandon their cattle.” Maharashtra’s animal husbandry commissioner, Umap, says farmers could be more entrepreneurial and try newer stuff like using cow-dung to produce mosquito repellant sticks etc.
  1318. The Maharashtra government has tried different models to solve the stray cattle problem. One of the ideas floated last October is that of a Cow Club, where farmers can keep all their cows. The dairy sector in Maharashtra operates through cooperatives â€" farmers keep cows at home and sell the milk through the cooperatives. The cow club model envisages farmers leaving all their cows at the club, and getting paid for the milk. The club will use the milk, create value-added products such as curd and paneer, and invest in brand-building. The model also envisages use of cow urine and dung for a biogas power plant.The Maharashtra government had also announced its flagship cow club at Dapchari in Palghar district, about 100 kilometres north of Mumbai. Dapchari is a tribal area â€"the Warli tribe, famous for their paintings, reside here. In 2016, the land was offered to NGOs for setting up a cow shelter, but none came forward. If the Cow Club works out in Dapchari, the state government wants to try a second one in Osmanabad.Apart from Cow Club, the state has also started a new scheme called Govardhan Goshalas or Cow Hostels. This scheme has allotted Rs 36 crore to 36 cow shelters across the state. Around 28 of these have already received a first tranche of Rs 25 lakh.A drought is again a bad time for cattle, as their source of food dries up, even if they are abandoned and allowed to roam freely. The problems of keeping livestock at home would not be lost on Maharashtra Animal Husbandry Minister Mahadev Jankar, who himself hails from Dhangar samaj, traditionally a community of goatherds. In an interview with ET Magazine, Jankar said the state has now worked out a plan with the Indian Railways to send out fodder trains carrying feed for cattle across the state.
  1319. Till the Cows Come HomeWhile these look at the long term, there is clearly no solution visible in the short term, which is more a logistical issue of herding cows together, dealing with the dead and feeding the living.Earlier this month, angry farmers locked stray cattle in schools, hospitals, police stations, panchayat offices and even cemeteries. Some 260 cattle were locked up in a cemetery at Purva village in UP last Monday. By the time local administration reached the spot, dozens had fallen ill due to the cold and lack of food and water. The local administration claimed no cows died in the incident.Farmers have taken many measures to protect their crops, including building a hedge, getting an iron fence done at a high cost and setting up raised platforms to keep vigil. It also means sleepless nights at the height of winter.
  1320. Sheikh Hasina’s unprecedented electoral success that brought her to power for a record fourth time will not only continue to ensure stability along India’s eastern border but also open up a plethora of opportunities for sub-regional partnership, with Bangladesh acting as a bridge between India and Southeast Asia. This, in turn, would open up new economic opportunities for Dhaka and nations in the Bay of Bengal region. The last decade has witnessed unprecedented economic growth in Bangladesh, often described as a basket case due to years of military or military-backed regimes that also enjoyed the blessings of radical forces led by Jamaat-e-Islami. Even critics of the Hasina regime would agree that a steady growth rate of 7% in the past decade has pushed Bangladesh closer to acquiring the status of a middleincome country.
  1321. Dhaka would parallel cities in eastern India in terms of cash flow, with a fastemerging middle class whose spending capacity is increasing. The Awami League has vowed to work for realising the aspirations of converting Bangladesh into a developed country by 2041. Economy & FDI Inflows Bangladesh may become the 26th largest economy from the current 42nd by 2030, moving ahead of the Philippines, Pakistan, Vietnam and Malaysia. says an HSBC report. The country has been enlisted into the Next Eleven countries by Goldman Sachs â€" South Korea, Mexico, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Turkey and Vietnam â€" which are ready to become the biggest economies in the 21st century, after four of the five BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). It is Hasina’s contribution that has made a least developed country such as Bangladesh a developing country now, going by economic indicators. Her first term as prime minister (1996-2001) was a warm-up phase, coming after years of decay and deadlock caused by the assassination of her father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975. It, however, faltered as the BNP-Jamaat alliance took over and unleashed a reign of violence, corruption, religious extremism and militancy that lasted for a full term of five years from 2001.
  1322. In 2008, Hasina came up with her party’s manifesto, Charter for Change-Vision 2021, and got a landslide victory in the parliamentary election held on December 29, 2008. She became the PM for the second consecutive term in 2014 against all odds. Hasina has demonstrated how it is possible to venture into the Padma Bridge construction without any World Bank funding, defying opposition of all big powers. Foreign investors’ confidence in Bangladesh is on the rise, data show.
  1323. Foreign direct investment (FDI) to the country has almost tripled since Awami League returned to power in 2008. Data from Bangladesh Bank, the central bank, show the country received FDI worth $961 million in 2008-09 while the inflow increased to $2,454.81 million in 2016-17. Bangladesh received $2,607 million worth of foreign investment from July to May in 2017-18. The introduction of a one-stop service to enable ease of doing business, establishing the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority and the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority are steps taken towards developing an environment for investment, senior Bangladesh officials told ET Magazine. The One-Stop Service Act will help remove all difficulties investors face before starting their businesses and will facilitate the formation of an authority that will ensure quick service for investors from a single office, the officials said. In his budget speech last June, then Bangladesh finance minister AMA Muhith said the government has reviewed failures to attract FDI and taken steps to identify the obstacles and the action to overcome them.
  1324. Bangladesh is trying to engage in various subregional connectivity projects through road, rail and sea routes with India. These connectivity projects can create more trade opportunities for Bangladesh with the northeastern states of India. India is interested in road and railway transit through Bangladesh as it would lower the cost and time to send goods to its Northeast. Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and India (BBIN), a group of sub-regional countries in eastern South Asia, signed a landmark Motor Vehicles Agreement (MVA) in 2015 for the regulation of passenger, personnel and cargo vehicular traffic among the four south Asian neighbours. The agreement, based on the European Model, has paved the way for seamless movement of goods and people across the border for the benefit and integration of the region and its economic development. The pact aims to connect landlocked Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal and northeastern Indian territories with the Chittagong and Kolkata ports. Bangladesh and Nepal launched a bus service through India on April 24, 2018, under MVA. The Dhaka-Kolkata-Agartala and the Dhaka-Shillong-Guwahati bus services were started in 2015 under this agreement. Both Bangladesh and India agreed to consider introducing new bus service linking Khulna-Kolkata and Jessore-Kolkata. Bangladesh and India are taking initiatives to revive the traditional rail routes to enhance travel of passengers and transportation of goods. Further regional connectivity between Bangladesh and its neighbours is expected in the implementation of the planned concept of “Blue Economy” â€" sustainable use of ocean resources for growth â€" now that Bangladesh is in receipt of new marine territories as a result of the maritime verdict wins through arbitration against India and Myanmar. The geographic location of Bangladesh’s deepsea ports may greatly lead to trade expansion. Bangladesh has an immense opportunity to become a regional transport hub not only for Saarc countries but also for China and other Asian countries, according to a senior official in Dhaka. Besides, in 2016, Bangladesh and India launched coastal shipping to allow river vessels to carry cargo between the two countries. The erstwhile Khaleda Zia regime in Bangladesh had strong reservations against granting connectivity and transit to the neighbours on the pretext that it would infringe on the sovereignty of Bangladesh. It was the Hasina-led government that realised that granting connectivity and transit was a win-win situation for Bangladesh as, apart from to earning revenue, it would allow local entrepreneurs to access the markets in Northeast India and beyond and enable greater people-to-people contact in a smooth way.
