Busses connecting India, Nepal, Bangladesh on trail run

Siliguri, April 25: Marking a fresh leap in vehicular communication among three neighbouring nations, two buses on trial run from Dhaka crossed over into India at Phulbari on way to Kathmandu on Tuesday.

A tumultuous welcome followed, as West Bengal government officials and commoners presented bouquets and 'khadas' to the 45 passengers - all but two of them bureaucrats and diplomats from the three nations - at the India-Bangladesh border.

Twenty five officials from Bangladesh, a dozen from India, six others representing Nepal, as also two Asian Development Bank executives, are making the 1,104 km journey that started from Dhaka on Monday.

On Wednesday morning, the bus will resume its journey from the north Bengal secretariat Uttar Kanya and reach Kathmandu on Thursday.
