Freight train services between Bangladesh and India have resumed after nearly nine months

After nearly nine months, a freight train carrying goods has arrived at the Birol corridor in Dinajpur, Bangladesh, via rail from India, confirmed Mohammad Ziaur Rahman, the station superintendent of Dinajpur Railway Station, on Thursday at around 10:30 PM.   Railway authorities stated that train services for both passengers and freight between the two countries had been suspended since July last year due to the political situation in Bangladesh. However, freight operations through the Radhikapur-Birol border had already ceased in May 2024 due to a lack of demand.   Sangeet Dutta, the station master of Radhikapur Railway Station, confirmed that freight train services have now resumed after a prolonged halt. The train, comprising 46 wagons, arrived at Birol Railway Station carrying dust powder used in ceramic plate production.   Bangladesh
