Emphasising there was zero tolerance for ticket black marketing during this Eid-ul-Fitr, Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has claimed that this is why no one dared to engage in such activities this time around.

Speaking to the media after visiting Kamalapur Railway Station in Dhaka today (30 March), he expressed satisfaction with the smooth operation of the trains and the management of ticket sales.

"I am very pleased. I believe all of you [general people] are happy too, as this year's Eid journey is going well. And, when it comes to black marketing, we maintained a strict policy of zero tolerance," he said.

Jahangir commended the punctuality of the train services, saying, "I visited the station and observed that all the trains have been departing on time. There have been no delays."

"Furthermore, there is no black marketing happening here, and no one is facing any difficulties in obtaining tickets," he claimed.

He also addressed the issue of standing passengers, noting that 25% of tickets were issued as standing tickets as it has always been done during Eid due to extra pressure of passengers.

"Sometimes people question why there are standing passengers, but it's essential to accommodate as many passengers as possible during this peak period," the adviser explained.

He also acknowledged the issue of passengers climbing onto train rooftops, particularly during the final moments of departure. While this remains a concern, efforts are being made to prevent such incidents to avoid potential accidents.

He further revealed that he spoke to many passengers who expressed their happiness with the journey as they are traveling more comfortably.

Highlighting the government's measures to avoid schedule disruptions, Jahangir stressed that the government had a clear mechanism in place to ensure a smooth Eid journey. "Our stance on this matter was zero tolerance. We did not allow any form of corruption."

"We ensured our railway officials were properly instructed to carry out their duties with integrity. In the past, there have been instances where railway staff were involved in black marketing, but this year, by the grace of Allah, not a single such incident has occurred."
