Dhaka - Ishwardi - Benapole Dual Gauge Rail Route



Recently the Government of Bangladesh has taken a project to build double railway track from Ishwardi, Pabna to Joydebpur, Gazipur. The railway minister said if the project implemented, the communication between the capital and the west part of the country will be much easier and time consuming.

The minister said that instead of old tracks, by changing the existing meter gauge of the railway track in the whole country will be converted to dual gauge by the year 2041. On June 22 the railway minister said as the chief guest in the 11th batch parade of Pakshi Railway Safety Force Training Center.

Now peoples love the train journey rather than by road due to more safety and comfort. The government is working to build a balanced communication system through the country based on the instructions of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

On the occasion, the Railway Minister Nurul Islam Sujon said that before the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha there will be new direct intercity train on Dhaka- Ishwardi- Benapole rail route. However, the name of the train has not yet been finalized. The name of the train and the date of opening will be announced soon after approval of the Prime Minister.





He also said that the government will construct another separate bridge besides existing Bangabandhu (Jamuna) Bridge. After completion of the dual gauge Joydevpur- Ishwardi rail route, high speed train will be introduced on this route in the future.


In this regard, the railway minister directed the Rajshahi Chief Engineer Afzal Hossain to take initial for a modern and affordable station by including a new project to increase the standard of passenger services. On the occasion senior officials of the Western Railway, officers of the Pakshi divisional railway office and local political leaders were present.

An interconnected intercity direct train on Dhaka- Ishwardi- Benapole rail route will implement soon which will help the people of the area and as well as the whole country.
