Inter-city train service on Dhaka-Ctg-Cox’s Bazar resumes

The inter-city train service on Dhaka-Chattogram-Cox’s Bazar has resumed after a break of 27 days following recent protests and subsequent unrest across the country.

Cox’s Bazar Express left Cox’s Bazar Iconic Rail Station at around 12:30pm on Thursday.

The train services were halted after some trains were vandalised and set fire to during the quota reform movement on 18 July.

Following the fall of the Awami League government, the train services began again through the operations of freight trains on 12 August. All types of mail trains, local trains and commuter trains resumed operations the next day, and all types of train services were resumed on 15 August with the continuation of inter-city trains covering long distances.
