Risky Train Journey in Mymensingh
Mabrur Atiqi, Narsingdi, 11
September: The journey by train
has recently become risky and hazardous in Mymensingh. Very often most of the
train compartments remain dark in the absence of light at night. As a result,
crimes like theft, robbery, and smuggling are occurring frequently. The
worn-out seats, broken fans, and dirty toilets without water in the
compartments are nauseating.
Same
condition is in the waiting rooms at the stations. Most often the waiting rooms
are kept under lock and key. Although from Gafargaon to Mymensingh there are
two waiting rooms, they are found occupied by beggars and vagabonds. The
distance from Gafargaon to Mymensingh is only 40 kilometers, but it takes as
much time as it needs to reach from Gafargaon to Dhaka due to sluggish movement
of the trains on the Gafargaon-Mymensingh route.
Sources
said the railway communication between Gafargaon and Mymensingh has become very
risky nowadays. As a result, the number of passenger train has considerably
reduced on this route. The passengers and goods trains on this route are
running with high risk. The condition of the railway tracks is very pitiable.
Passengers
of this route suspect that accident may occur at any time taking heavy toll of
lives and property.
