Dedicated Eid Special Trains for Passenger Travel and Cattle Transportation

To accommodate the surge in travel and livestock transport during Eid-ul-Azha 2025, Bangladesh Railway has announced a series of special train services, including dedicated trains for both passengers and sacrificial animals (Qurbani cattle).

Special Cattle Trains to Dhaka

To ease the transportation of sacrificial animals to Dhaka, three special cattle trains will operate from Jamalpur:

  1. 2 June 2025 at 5:00 PM – From Dewanganj Bazar, Jamalpur
  2. 2 June 2025 at 3:40 PM – From Islampur, Jamalpur
  3. 3 June 2025 at 5:00 PM – Again from Dewanganj Bazar, Jamalpur

These trains are expected to reduce traffic pressure on highways and provide traders with a more affordable and organized transport option.
