In pictures: Overcrowded trains packed with Eid holidaymakers

Trains leaving Dhaka are full to the brim as standing passengers cram into every empty corner in the home-bound rush during the Eid holidays.

A huge number of people were seen travelling on train roofs risking their lives. 

Defying orders of Bangladesh Railways, many people got on train roofs due to huge pressure. 

The photos were taken by Dhaka Tribune's Mahmud Hossain Opu on Tuesday at Tongi Station in Gazipur
