Bangladesh Railway Minister Nurul Islam Sujan has announced plans to launch a trans-border passenger train service connecting Dhaka and the eastern Indian city of Siliguri in March, 2021.

The decision was finalised during a meeting between the minister and Indian High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswamy on Monday, the ministry said in a statement.

Currently, the South Asian neighbours only have one trans-border passenger train, the Maitree Express, in operation, connecting Kolkata to Dhaka and Khulna.
