A Transit of Ties, Trade, and Regional Connectivity
To commemorate 50 years of diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh and to strengthen regional connectivity, the Indian government has developed a state-of-the-art Landport (Integrated Check Post) linking Sabroom in India to Ramgarh in Bangladesh. This vital infrastructure project provides integrated border management facilities, ensuring a streamlined and secure experience for both passengers and cargo handlers who frequently cross the border.
A key objective of the Landport (ICP) is to decongest traffic by establishing dedicated lanes for different vehicle types, while ensuring comprehensive surveillance and movement monitoring across the border. The facility also includes warehousing, storage, and quarantine zones to support logistical operations. Importantly, the Landport (ICP) enhances access for the North-Eastern states to the Chittagong Port, bolstering bilateral trade and opening up direct access to global shipping routes—thereby accelerating regional economic growth.
Spanning 50 acres, the site is characterised by dense vegetation and undulating topography. The master plan is carefully crafted to respect the natural conditions, integrating the flat and gently sloping areas into designated buffer parking zones for trucks and loaders. The existing NH-8 bisects the site, providing clear access and enabling efficient movement. Two internal roads branch off from the highway — one dedicated to passenger transit and the other to cargo — ensuring well-regulated circulation.
The Landport (ICP) comprises three primary built forms: the Passenger Terminal Building (PTB), the Inspection-cum-Warehouse facility, and the Cargo Building. All major structures, particularly the PTB, are positioned on naturally levelled areas of the site to ensure structural stability. The PTB stands out with its distinctive crystalline form and is enveloped in NedZink zinc panels using a standing seam system — a technologically advanced roofing and cladding solution selected for its durability and weather resistance. The zinc panels feature a simulated patina finish, lending the structure a seamless, uniform appearance while enhancing its resilience against the high wind conditions near the Bay of Bengal.
The architectural design of the project avoids direct wall-to-roof junctions and restricts large cantilevers to optimise climatic performance. ACP sheets and glass are also used selectively on other facades, while protruding metallic roof elements offer additional shading and shelter. A large green terrace sits atop the main ICP building, conceived as a recreational space with provisions for future expansion. Additional supporting infrastructure includes a motor facility, quarantine yards for plants and animals, a porter’s rest area and canteen, fire station, and barracks for male and female officers. The site’s proximity to the newly constructed Sabroom Railway Station, just one kilometre away, further enhances its trading and logistical potential.
The project emphasises universal accessibility, with ramps, elevators, and passenger elevating devices integrated into the design. The facility is equipped with tactile tiles, recessed water taps, handrails, and signage in Braille to ensure inclusive access for differently abled and visually impaired persons, while dedicated toilets and accessible corridors make the facility universally usable.
Sustainability has been a guiding principle throughout the development. The complex incorporates renewable energy systems such as solar panels and wind propellers. Rainwater harvesting pits are implemented, and all existing water bodies have been retained to mitigate the risk of flash flooding, especially during the region’s heavy monsoon seasons. Natural vegetation has been preserved wherever possible, with native species maintained and alien species introduced only along the site’s boundaries.
As a critical point of transit, Landport (ICP), Sabroom emerges as a regional anchor for economic and infrastructural development. It ensures smooth cross-border movement and serves as a symbol of regional development and bilateral cooperation. The design reflects a deep understanding of local site conditions, physiological features, and cultural context, delivering a facility that is functional, resilient, and future-ready. This development is poised to catalyse local job creation, promote tourism, and support regional GDP growth through enhanced connectivity and trade opportunities between India and Bangladesh.
