The present political turbulence in Bangladesh, characterised by huge protests and violence led by student activists demanding the removal of a government job quota system, has suspended numerous vital rail routes between India and Bangladesh.
This upheaval has resulted in the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, with Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-Us-Zaman announcing the formation of an interim government to guide the country through this moment of uncertainty.
Because of recent events, Indian Railways has cancelled the Maitri Express, a passenger train between Kolkata and Dhaka.
The Eastern Railway (ER) has ceased operations of the Maitri Express, train numbers 13109/13110, beginning July 19, 2024, with cancellations lasting until August 6, 2024. The Maitri Express operated by Bangladesh Railway, with train numbers 13107 and 13108, has also been suspended for the same period.
