Stopovers for the intercity trains Mohanagar Provati, Mohanagar Godhuli, and Upaban Express (Down) were officially inaugurated at Narsingdi Railway Station on the Dhaka-Chattogram and Dhaka-Sylhet railway routes.

Narsingdi Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Rashed Hossain Chowdhury inaugurated the new stopovers around 9:30am today at the station.

Upon the arrival of the trains, the Deputy Commissioner welcomed the train directors and locomotive masters with flowers.

On the occasion, the Narsingdi Railway Passenger Rights Forum also greeted passengers with flowers and distributed sweets.

According to railway officials, with the addition of these three stopovers, the total number of intercity trains stopping at the station has now increased to eight.

DC Mohammad Rashed Hossain Chowdhury said Narsingdi plays a vital role in agriculture, industry, and education, and is home to the prominent wholesale cloth markets of Shekherchar and Baburhat. Despite this, the district lacked adequate intercity train stopovers connecting it with other parts of the country like Chattogram and Sylhet. 

He expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Railways for acknowledging the demand and approving the stopovers, which will greatly benefit the people of the district.

Md Amzad Jewel, President of the Narsingdi Railway Passenger Rights Forum, said the Ministry approved the stopovers following a formal request from the forum. The new stops are expected to ease long-standing travel difficulties faced by thousands of passengers.

Mohammad Abdul Mannan, station master of Narsingdi Railway Station, Zahidul Islam, sub-inspector of the Railway Police Outpost, and other dignitaries were present at the event.
