Aizawl, Oct 26 : While India is almost prepared for the Indo-Myanmar border trade, the Myanmarese government has many works to finish for the same, an official said today.
PK Neihsial, Superintendent of Central Land Custom based at Champhai, informed DoNER Secretary Jayati Chandra, who visited the proposed border trade area at Zokhawthar, today said the border trade was yet to be commissioned.
''While Mizoram almost prepared for the border trade, the Myanmarese government has not executed works as expected. Among others, the road from Tiau (border point) to Tiddim is yet to be made an all-season road,'' the official informed the DoNER Secretary.
According to the customs official, border trade was taking place unofficially on one or two items of the 40 trade items listed for the border trade.
He said fertilizers, bicycles, vehicle spare parts and medicines were at the top of the list of the items which Myanmar wanted to import from India.
Mr Neihsial also said all the concerned departments were ready to occupy their offices at the Land Custom building once the border trade took off.
