Описание: Wejkhali Haat Bazar (ওয়েজখালী হাট বাজার) is a traditional periodic market located in Wejkhali, Sunamganj, within the Sylhet Division. Here’s a comprehensive look at its history and role:

⸻

🏛️ Historical Origins & Cultural Role
• Border‑Haat Legacy: Wejkhali is part of the long-standing border‑haat system between Bangladesh and India, designed since 2012 to facilitate local trade of agricultural produce, crafts, and household goods for communities living near the border .
• Inauguration: The Sunamganj region’s second border haat, at Dolura‑Balat (near Wejkhali), was officially launched on May 1, 2012. It featured 50 stalls—25 on each side—offering agricultural items, handicrafts, and forest products .
• Weekly Schedule: Operating every Tuesday from 8 am to ~3:30 pm, vendors use special IDs (colored cards) to monitor and regulate trade activities .

⸻

📈 Economic & Social Impact
• Livelihood Booster: These haats are more than markets—they strengthen rural economies, particularly for women and youth who earn from selling and related services, while curbing smuggling in border zones .
• People-to-People Connection: They serve as social hubs, fostering cross-border relations and community ties by enabling direct trade and interaction between Bangladeshi and Indian locals .

⸻

🌍 Geographical & Cultural Context
• Strategic Location: Wejkhali lies close to Sunamganj Sadar and the India–Bangladesh border. The haat is typically accessed from Sunamganj town via road and small river crossings .
• Part of Larger Heritage: Sunamganj is steeped in history—named after a Mughal soldier “Sunamdi” —and known for its unique haor (wetland) ecosystem, artisan craftsmanship, and religious-cultural syncretism .

⸻

🚧 Recent Status & Challenges
• Operational Fluctuations: While some border‑haats in Sunamganj have faced temporary closures, Dolura‑Balat (Wejkhali) has largely remained active. Neighboring haats like Ringku‑Bagabari and Shahidabad have seen intermittent suspensions .
• Security & Oversight: For safety, haat operations involve card-based vendor permissions and monitoring by local administration. The presence of tourist police has also been considered to ensure secure cross-border visits.
