Dhaka- Kolkata train service
We welcome the initiative of General Moin to sort out differences with the Indian authorities. We are optimistic about improvement in Indo-Bangla relations after his visit.
It might be relevant to mention that the BBC Bengali service in its newspapers review programme pointed out that the Communications Secretary had said that a few issues are yet to be sorted out to pave the way for the train service between Dhaka and Kolkata. This reminds us of the previous occasion when everything looked set for the train service to begin. Similarly, the Home Secretary mentioned to the media that the fencing issue remained unresolved and Bangladesh had opposed the idea.
We hope the government would clarify the official status of the train service between Dhaka and Kolkata formally.
