Protester Jayanta Bhattacharya stated that many passengers from Faridpur would also travel on this train from Rajbari to Dhaka, which would increase revenue for the railway department through ticket sales.

The station master of Faridpur Railway Station, Taqdeer Hossain, stated that the railway authorities have been informed about the issue of train blockades. He assured that the demands of Faridpur residents would be addressed promptly.

Operation of the Chandna commuter train between Rajbari and Dhaka commenced on May 5. However, due to the absence of any scheduled stops at Faridpur Railway Station, significant discontent has arisen among railway passengers in Faridpur.
