Still no decision on resuming passenger train operation
While the government and private offices may start in full swing from tomorrow (28 July) after a relaxation of the curfew, the Bangladesh Railway is yet to decide on resuming the passenger train operation.
"We have not made any decision over passenger train operation till today. We will operate once we find the railway is safe for the passengers. It may take time. Now we only operate oil trains with the support of BGB," said Sardar Shahadat Ali, director general of Bangladesh Railway.
Earlier on 24 July, the railway authorities had decided to resume operation. But at night on the same day, they backtracked on the decision to resume passenger train operations from 25 July.
