Now we have an agreement to allow all south Asian countries (except Pakistan) to use each others road, rail and waterways for trade to a third nation, so apart from Nepal and Bhutan, which is also $50 million trade for Bangladesh (as stated by a BD member), Bangladesh can use Indian transport network to trade with all south Asian and central Asian countries, east Asia when the India-Myanmar-Thailand route is complete, and maybe with China also in future. Now, if the transit fee, tolls & taxes, transport cost, etc. are kept unreasonably high by the participating countries (SAARC minus Pakistan), then the whole purpose of the agreement, that is economic development of south Asia through mutual cooperation, fails to materialize.
What Bangladesh is asking for is Tk 42,320/- for one 40tn container just for passing through a 350 kilometers route, most of which is river ways. Now that's freaking high.....forget river ways, even 8-lane steel reinforced highways (as
@iajdani was proposing) won't charge that much of toll fee or transit fee.
What Bangladesh is doing is signing an agreement of mutual cooperation but violating it in letter & spirit.
