CA sends 300kg mangoes as gift to Tripura CM

On behalf of Chief Adviser Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus, some 300 kilgorams of delicious 'Haribhanga' mangoes have been sent to the Chief Minister of Indian state of Tripura and other dignitaries.

As a token of friendly relations, the mangoes packed in 60 cartons were sent through Akhaura land port in Brahmanbaria around 5:15 pm on Thursday. Every year, the Bangladesh government sends seasonal gift items to Tripura's state government and key individuals. In return, Tripura sends Bangladesh its famed and juicy Queen variety pineapples as goodwill gifts. This year's mango gift was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and delivered through an exporter. Officials handed over the consignment to representatives of the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala.

Md Jahangir Alam, revenue officer at the Akhaura Land Customs Station, said, "The consignment of mangoes weighing 300 kilogrammes in 60 cartons- each containing five kilogrammes of sweet Haribhanga mangoes were sent from the chief adviser's office to the Bangladesh High Commission in Agartala." 

"All customs procedures were completed before the shipment was dispatched," he said.

Each box was accompanied by a message of goodwill and a complimentary card from the chief adviser, wrapped with designated diplomatic wrapping.
