Bangladesh Railway has begun refunding ticket prices after trains were halted during recent student protests for government job quota reforms. Train services were disrupted on Jul 16 when railway tracks were obstructed in Dhaka, Gazipur, Chattogram, Feni, Mymensingh, and Rangpur due to protests over government job quotas. Although train operations were somewhat normal on Jul 17, a ‘complete shutdown’ on Jul 18 halted services nationwide. Train services have been suspended since Jul 19. The resumption of train services remains uncertain.
