Bangladesh Railway has approved four pairs of special trains for participants traveling to the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami rally scheduled on July 19. The party has paid BDT 3.2 million in advance for the service.

According to the Ministry of Railways, this is a commercial decision made in accordance with established policies—not a political one. The ministry noted that similar facilities have previously been extended to other political parties as well. Officials added that the move is expected to increase railway revenue and ease congestion for regular passengers. While some confusion has circulated on social media, the ministry has dismissed the claims as baseless.
