Dhaka,
July 13, 2015: “A quarter million people will move by railways during the
current Eid vacation,” Railway Minister Md Mujibul Haque said while on a visit
to the Kamalapur Railway Station, where special Eid trains started operation
from today.
He
said apart from the special trains which had been pressed into service, extra
bogeys have been added to the regular trains.
The
minister also inspected the Chittagong-bound “Subarna Express” and talked to
its passengers.
Later,
the minister said that the special trains shall continue services for a week
after Eid from 19 to 25 July, 2015.
Mujibul
Haque said, “On the first day 29 trains left the station. Of them 28 were on
time and the other was a little late because of mechanical trouble.”
The
railway minister was optimistic about the future of the railways and said that
in the next three-and-a-half years there would be significant development in
the sector as a number of projects had been taken up at the express desire of
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. (Source: BSS)
