Railway minister Md Nurul Islam Sujon said that necessary measures would be taken if any complaints were received from passengers about getting train tickets online ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.

The minister told reporters after receiving 50 high-quality trollies imported from China by Islami Bank Bangladesh at Kamalapur railway station on Saturday.

‘During Eid-ul-Fitr we received various complaints regarding online ticketing, but during this Eid, we have not yet received any complaints. Many media outlets have already reported that people are purchasing tickets online,’ he added.

Yet if any gaps or complaints are found, measures will be taken accordingly, said the railway minister.

In the current fiscal year, the government has allocated Tk 19,000 crore for the railways ministry.

‘Once the ongoing projects are completed, people will be able to go to Cox’s Bazar and Bhanga from Dhaka by train,’ said the minister.
