The number of trains will not be increased during the Eid, he said
Railway Minister Md Nurul Islam Sujan said the railway will not transport any extra passenger even if the pressure of passengers increases ahead of Eid-ul-Adha.

Md Nurul Islam Sujan also said, "The number of trains will not be increased during the Eid. The government is discouraging people from going to their village homes on the occasion. So we will not increase the number of trains."
