In a significant diplomatic move, India has revoked the transshipment facility previously granted to Bangladesh. The decision follows growing ties between Bangladesh and China, and recent controversial remarks by Bangladesh’s interim government head, Mohammad Yunus, claiming the country as the “guardian of the Bay of Bengal.” Reacting swiftly, India’s Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has ordered the suspension of cargo movement through the Bay, sending a strong message over regional geopolitics and maritime sovereignty.
