In celebration of Independence Day : New train service on Dhaka-N’ganj route
Staff Correspondent, Narayanganj
On the occasion of the Great Independence Day, eight pairs of new trains will be launched on the Dhaka-Narayanganj-Dhaka route from March 26. The train will depart from Dhaka at 11:00 am and is expected to arrive in Narayanganj at approximately 11:50 am . This initiative will play a crucial role in ensuring fast, safe, and comfortable travel for the residents of Narayanganj.
At the special request of Narayanganj's humanitarian Deputy Commissioner, Mohammad Zahidul Islam Mia, and under the overall supervision of Bangladesh Railway, this new train service will make commuting between Narayanganj and Dhaka more convenient. Designed in the style of the metro rail, these trains are equipped with modern facilities and will maintain high standards of train operation and service.
Currently, passengers are highly dissatisfied with the quality of train service on the Dhaka-Narayanganj route. Regular commuters have numerous complaints—seats are uncomfortable, fans do not work in the heat, and many coaches lack proper lighting at night. According to Narayanganj railway sources, eight pairs of trains currently operate on this route, carrying approximately 20,000 to 30,000 passengers daily. These include office-goers, students, and people from various professions.
