NARAYANGANJ, July 25, 2023 (BSS) - Railways Minister Md Nurul Islam Sujan

months of its suspension.

The minister came up with the information while talking to the journalists at

gauge double railway line and Padma Bridge rail link project.

Noting that the work of Dhaka-Narayanganj double line project will also start 
soon, he said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate the railway 
operation from Dhaka to Vanga via Padma Bridge in early October.

"Now the process of starting the trial lane from Kamlapur to Vanga is going 
on," he added.

There has been a delay in the work of the dual gauge line while coordinating 
with the railway line of the Padma Bridge, he said, adding that but the dual 
gauge single line is being upgraded to a double line.

He said that the project work of new and old lines on the Dhaka-Narayanganj 
route is progressing simultaneously.

be completed within the stipulated time in June next year.

present there with the minister, among others.

Earlier, the Ministry of Railways announced the suspension of Dhaka-
Narayanganj train service for three months from December 4 last year due to 
the construction of the Padma Bridge rail line project over Narayanganj.
