For the fourth consecutive time, Bangladesh Railway is going to conduct a ‘special mango train’ on Chapainawabganj-Dhaka route via Rajshahi this season. Asim Kumar Talukder, general manager of the railway west zone, said that they had already started preparations to conduct a pair of trains to transport mangoes at a lower cost for the welfare of mango traders and farmers.
‘We are planning to launch the special train by May 25 as the growers and the traders urged them to do so,’ said Asim. The western railway authorities held a discussion meeting with mango farmers and traders at Chapainawabganj Railway Station on Thursday over launching the special mango train.
Earlier in 2020, the mango special train was launched for the first time to mitigate transportation problems of the growers. It was also launched in 2021 and in 2022 for second and third time.
