== Location ==<br />
Dhubri Port or Jetty is located in Dhubri town on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River.<br />
==History==<br />
Dhubri port is a very old river port. This port is an important part of the economy of Dhubri and its adjoining areas. From the time of the British rule, this port was connected to the port of Kolkata with the water route. Jute and rice from Dumbari port were sent to the [[Port of Kolkata]]. After the country's independence, the Jamuna and Sundarban rivers fall between Pakistan and later Bangladesh. However, now between the two countries, ships and small vessels are carrying goods between Kolkata and Dhubri port.<ref>{{cite news|title=Modernization of Dhubri River Port |url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=136817}}</ref><br />
