Bangladesh railway capacity

Railway off track

A whopping Tk 1.22 lakh crore was poured into Bangladesh Railway for its development over the last 16 years, but the agency still faces a crippling crisis brought by ageing locomotives, carriages, and a shortage of staff due to what experts say are poorly planned and delayed projects.

Why is Bangladesh Railway struggling despite huge investment?

Despite thousands of crores of taka being invested in various infrastructure development projects in the railway sector, the crisis of Bangladesh Railway (BR) doesn’t seem to end.

Four districts and a seaport will join the country’s rail network by October when 255km of rail lines are inaugurated.
