Indian team asks Dhaka to export gas

DHAKA, NOV. 27. A delegation of Indian businessmen has asked Bangladesh to quickly start exporting gas to India to bridge the trade gap between the two countries and said that if Dhaka does not do so, New Delhi will buy it from Myanmar.

The president of the visiting 10-member delegation from the Kolkata-based Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Niranjan Saha, said that if Bangladesh did not agree to export gas to India, New Delhi will buy it from Myanmar and in that case Bangladesh's gas market will incur a loss, vernacular daily Matribhumee reported.

Instead of looking at the issue from political angle, it should be viewed in the light of economy as the export of gas to India would bridge the trade gap the Indian delegation said.
