All train services suspended until further notice

All types of train operations have been suspended until further notice amid the ongoing student movement demanding the resignation of the government.  

Md Nahid Hasan Khan, Director (Public Relations) of Bangladesh Railway, confirmed the matter of suspension to the media through an SMS on Sunday night.

He said all train services have been temporarily suspended until further notice. The train movement was also suspended on August 4.

Earlier, the train movement was suspended across the country since the day of the ‘Complete Shutdown’ programme enforced by Anti-discrimination Student Movement on July 18.

Short-distance train movement resumed on Thursday (August 1) but inter-city train services remained suspended. Following the new decision by Bangladesh Railway, all train services will remain suspended starting today.
