Rupsha-Bagerhat train
The narrow gauge railway train services between Khulna and Bagerhat via Rupsha River were in operation for over 100 years. But the railway services were closed with the removal of railway tracks a decade back. In the past, bus services were available during the dry winter season using the muddy district board road. After liberation, an all weather road was built leading to introduction of minibus services which is the lone communication mode today. It is needless to narrate the difficulties for the travelling public, especially the children, elderly people, ladies, sick etc.
The prime minister got elected twice from Bagerhat and thus people expect reintroduction of railway services between Bagerhat and Rupsha.
