Eid travels on trains from Dhaka’s Kamalapur Railway Station to different parts of the country, with tickets bought in advance, started on Monday morning under tight security.
Those who had booked tickets for Monday on March 14 travelled to their destinations, with passengers allowed to enter the main platform of the station after going through a three-layer checking procedure, said Station Manager Md Shahadat Hossain.
Md Asad, a passenger of the Chittagong-bound Subrana Express, said he along with wife and children was travelling from Dhaka smoothly under tight security.
He said that though he faced some problems in managing online tickets, it was later done successfully.
Borhan Uddin, a student, travelling to Mymensingh on the Jamuna Express, said he would have gone home by bus if the train ticket had not been managed, appreciating the strict security measures at the station.
