Jharkhand-Bengal Border Reopens After 24-Hour Closure

The West Bengal-Jharkhand border has reopened for truck movement after nearly 24 hours of closure, officials announced on Saturday. The West Bengal govt had shut the border after water releases from the Damodar Valley Corporation, which caused flooding in Bengal. While goods-laden trucks have begun, operators noted it will take time to clear the 20–25 km queue of stranded vehicles.
