However, the resumption of these transport services is subject to the government's health and hygiene directives with trains only allowed to operate at half the passenger capacity. Eight pairs of trains resumed operations under their usual timetables, including Banalata, Chitra, Panchagarh and Lalmonirhat Express on the western routes. "Stations have taken strict measures to ensure that only passengers with valid tickets board trains." Launch operations restarted on schedule and in compliance with the health and safety rules, Rafiqul said. All public transport will have to strictly adhere to the 13-point health and safety protocol issued by the health service department.
