Adviser to the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain on Tuesday reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring safe and hassle-free travel for home-bound passengers ahead of the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha.
In a post on his verified Facebook profile, he mentioned that the Ministry of Railways has decided to add extra train carriages to accommodate the surge in travellers during the holiday.
He further stated: "To ensure smooth and uninterrupted Eid travel, the interim government has already held an inter-ministerial meeting."
The adviser added that comprehensive measures have been taken to address common passenger concerns such as fare manipulation, extortion, and theft across road, rail and water transport systems.
Reiterating the government's commitment, Asif Mahmud said that just like during Eid-ul-Fitr, every effort is being made to ensure the comfort, safety and happiness of travellers heading home to celebrate Eid.
