Kolkata - Dhaka train to begin from 14 April 2008
March 16, 2008 3:39 pm
After many delays, interruptions, disagreements and a fence, the train ride between Kolkata and Dhaka will begin running again on 14 April.
The ride will no doubt become one of the great journeys you can take connecting the two countries, one that we will definitely be taking in the coming months.
From India’s Business Standard magazine:
Maitree Express to be flagged off from Kolkata to Dhaka on April 14.
After nearly half a century, passenger trains will start plying between India and Bangladesh again. Train services, which had stopped because of the 1965 Indo-Pak war when Bangladesh was still a part of Pakistan, are all set to resume again.
Please let us know if you do end up riding the train and telling us how it went!
