Road Transport and Bridges Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan has assured that the interim government is committed to alleviating public suffering through proactive measures.

“Marking Victory Day, the government has introduced a new commuter train service on the Dhaka-Joydebpur-Dhaka route. This initiative aims to provide an affordable and efficient travel option between Dhaka and Gazipur,” he said on Sunday.

Adviser Fouzul made the remarks during the inauguration of four pairs of commuter trains on the Dhaka-Joydebpur route, alongside the launch of an air-conditioned BRTC bus service operating on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor from Shibbari to Airport and Gulistan.

Fouzul Kabir, who also serves as Adviser to the Ministry of Railways, revealed that additional commuter train services are being planned for the Dhaka-Narsingdi-Dhaka and Dhaka-Narayanganj-Dhaka routes.

These services are expected to commence ahead of Independence Day on March 26.

Highlighting broader goals, he called for collective action to create a discrimination-free and corruption-free Bangladesh. “Transparency and accountability must be maintained in all institutions, whether public or private.”
