No decision yet on running train: Railway DG

The Director General of Bangladesh Railway Sardar Shahadat Ali has said no decision has been taken as to when the train services will resume amidst the current situation of the country. The decision will be taken keeping in mind the safety issue after discussing with all the railway concerned.

Confirming the matter to Jago News on Thursday morning, he said, “No decision has been taken yet on the movement of trains. It's not about running the trains, it's about safety. After analyzing the overall situation and discussing with the minister, secretary and everyone concerned, a decision will be taken as to when the train will run.”

Earlier, only short-distance passenger trains were supposed to run from Thursday when the curfew was relaxed, but considering safety, the authorities changed the decision and kept the train movement off.
