Reduction of Dhaka-Sylhet train fare


Our Communication Minister, Barrister Nazmul Huda assured immediate reduction of Dhaka-Sylhet Train fare to cope with that of Dhaka-Chittagong. But we are extremely sorry to note that there has not been any such implementation of his declaration. Rather, the sufferings of the passengers of Dhaka-Sylhet train has been increased and the passenger are paying more for their tickets as some unscrupulous Station Masters and the Booking Clerks are manipulating the whole matter.

We know not what action has been taken against such licenced dacoits. Our minister promised the Sylheti passengers to introduce a super Delux train in the Dhaka-Sylhet route and he assured people of establishing a magnetic train in the Dhaka-Chittagong route. We don know when will all these happen?

We request the mister to kindly reduce the train fare in Dhaka-Sylhet route and thus implement his assurance one by one.
