Special train service on Ctg-Cox’s Bazar route cancelled

The Bangladesh Railways has cancelled the special train service between Chattogram and Cox’s Bazar due to engine and crew shortage, effective from May 30. The decision has drawn criticism from commuters, who allege a vehicle-owner syndicate’s influence behind the move. The service, launched on April 8 to handle Eid rush, was later extended till June 10 but has now been suspended, despite its popularity among passengers. Representational Image
