Bangladesh has renewed its case for joining the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India natural gas pipeline by sending a delegation to meet with Turkmenistan’s oil ministry last week, Petrobangla Chairman Hussain Monsur said Wednesday.
“We have conveyed our interest to join with TAPI as we are struggling to meet mounting natural gas demands with local production,” he said.

While generally friendly, most Indo-Bangladesh border crossings are very crowded and tout-ruled affair. Fortunately, the virtually deserted one at Bibir Bazaar was just the opposite. There were just two officials and two border guards on each side (if I exclude a hyperactive pet monkey outside the Bangladesh immigration office), who ensured clearances within minutes. Another twenty minutes drive brought us to the center of the Comilla town, at three in the afternoon.
