On the fourth day of Eid travel, there were no delays at Dhaka's Kamalapur Railway Station, allowing travelers to reach their destinations without hassle. 

A visit to Kamalapur Railway Station on the morning of Saturday (15 June), revealed that several trains departed on schedule to various destinations in the morning. 

To prevent unauthorised entry onto the platforms, stringent measures were in place. Passengers had to pass through a three-tier security checkpoint before accessing the station. This included control rooms set up by RAB (Rapid Action Battalion), police, and the Railway Security Force (RNB) at the station's entrance.

Traveling Ticket Examiners (TTEs) were seen checking tickets at the platform entrance, although they were not verifying NID cards this time. Those without tickets were directed to counters 1-6 to purchase standing tickets.

Station Master Anwar Hossain commented, "Today, 68 pairs of trains are scheduled to depart for various destinations. All the trains that were scheduled to leave this morning have departed on time. So far, there have been no disruptions."

The robust security measures and timely departures have ensured that travelers can embark on their Eid journeys without the usual stress and delays.
