New Delhi , Aug 23

In order to increase trade with neighbouring countries, the Government is planning to set up a Land Port Authority of India, the Union Minister for Shipping, Road Transport and Highways, Mr T.R. Baalu, told the Lok Sabha today.

The Ministry of Home Affairs is considering a proposal to set up a Land Port Authority of India for overseeing the construction, management and maintenance of integrated check posts (ICPs) at entry points at the land borders of the country.

The ICPs would house all regulatory agencies such as immigration, Customs and border security, apart from having support facilities such as parking, warehousing, banking and hotels in a single complex equipped with all modern amenities.
