After nearly a month of suspension, intercity train services resume



Dhaka, Aug 15 - After nearly one month of suspension, intercity train services resumed across the country on Thursday.

The services resumed with the departure of the Mohanganj Express from Kamalapur rail station around 1:15 pm.

Other intercity trains have been departing as per schedule from various destinations for Dhaka.

Passengers expressed satisfaction at the full restoration of train services after the long hiatus.

The Bangladesh Railway suspended operations of passenger trains on 19 July amid the violence centring the quota reform movement.

Although operations of passenger trains resumed on a limited scale on August 1, the authorities on August 3 suspended it and later halted the operations of all kinds of trains until further notice.-UNB
