No decision has been taken yet about the increase of the train fare, said Railways Minister Md Nurul Islam Sujan on Tuesday.

“After the price hike of fuel, we are thinking about the increase of train fare as already many organisations have coordinated the price with the fuel price. Still we do not take any decision,” he said while visiting the Joydebpur Railway Junction.

The 30-kilometer four-railway line work from Kamalapur to Tongi and 12-kilometer double railway line work from Tongi-Joydebpur, involving Tk 1,300 crore, have been going on in full swing.
