Bangladesh Railway will resume operation of passenger trains tomorrow on a very limited scale, one week after suspending operations due to nationwide unrest related to the quota reform movement.

Two commuter trains will operate on the Dhaka-Narayanganj and Dhaka-Tongi routes during the curfew relaxation hours tomorrow, Railways Ministry Secretary Humayun Kabir told the media on Wednesday.

He said both trains will make two trips on their respective routes.

“We will make a decision regarding full-scale operations tomorrow,” he added.

The Secretary also mentioned that freight trains have resumed operations today, while trains carrying oil tankers continued running without interruption during the suspension of other services.

Train services were suspended on July 18 in response to violence across the country.
