No decision yet over resuming train movement

Train service has been shut across the country for the last one week. However, no decision has been taken yet on when the train services will resume, officials said.

Director General of Bangladesh Railway Sardar Shahadat Ali on Thursday (25 July) said that trains were scheduled to run on short distance routes on Thursday. But they are also not running now. After taking a decision later, we will start running trains across the country.

"No decision has been taken yet on the movement of trains. It's not about running the trains, it's about safety. Decision will be taken after analyzing the overall situation and consultation with the ministers, secretaries and all concerned," he added.

It is mentionable that quota reform protesters set fire to railway tracks in the capital’s Nakhalpara rail gate area on July 18.
