The Dhaka-Jashore railway, freshly constructed, is slated for inauguration within a span of two months, as announced by Railways Minister Zillul Hakim today.
The 169km rail track, linking Jashore directly with the capital, will be unveiled by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, he revealed during an event in Shibchar, Madaripur.
Simultaneously, the minister, along with Chief Whip Noor-E-Alam Chowdhury, jointly launched a suburban train on the Dhaka-Bhanga-Rajbari route.
This train will operate as the Bhanga Commuter on the Bhanga-Dhaka-Bhanga route and the Chandana Commuter on the Rajbari-Bhanga-Rajbari route, according to officials.
Bangladesh Railway is executing its most extensive project yet, constructing the Dhaka-Jashore rail line via Padma Bridge, with an investment of approximately Tk 40,000 crore.
Last year, the prime minister inaugurated the Dhaka-Bhanga segment of the line.
