Kolkata: The Indian
railways on Wednesday asserted that services of Kolkata-Dhaka Maitree Express
will be resumed. The train was suspended for a day due to the Eid festival but
will again be start its regular services from Saturday.
“Maitree Express services were suspended on July 5 on
account of Eid,” Indian
railway spokesperson Anil Saxena has asserted. However, he rejected the
speculation that the services of Kolkata-Dhaka Maitree Express were resumed due
to the deadly terror attack on July 1 in the Bangladesh capital.
Saxena also added
that the services were temporarily suspended to ‘avoid complications’ during
the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations. The train will run in its earlier schedule in usual
time, two days in a week, between Kolkata and Dhaka.
Following the
terrorist attack at the Dhaka café on Friday, the BJP party in West Bengal
urged to stop the services of Maitree Express and held a protest at the
Indo-Bangladesh Benapole-Petrapole border gate.
