Train services of India-Bangladesh disrupted amid violent protests in Dhaka

Amid the tumultuous situation in Bangladesh triggered by ongoing protests against government job quotas, railway services between India and Bangladesh have been significantly disrupted, with special passenger trains being canceled.

On Saturday, July 20, Eastern Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Kaushik Mitra addressed the media, elaborating on the impact of the protests on railway connectivity between the two nations. "There is no information yet as to when the train



services between India and Bangladesh will resume," Mitra stated, noting that passenger train services remain canceled for the next two days.

"The Kolkata-Dhaka Maitree Express has been canceled. The Bandhan Express, which runs on Sunday, has also been stopped. In talks with the Bangladesh government, we have canceled this train. Bandhan Express will not run on Sunday. We hope that these train services will start soon and our brotherly relations will continue," the CPRO added.
