Bangladesh Railway in the red constant
Published on: Friday 05 July 2019
While this is not a breaking news for us, we are quite appalled by the levels of irregularities in the Bangladesh Railway (BR) as revealed by an Anti-Corruption Commission probe. It is ironical that a public service as crucial as our railway which is always in high demand, does not generate as much revenue as it should. In fact, the government incurs huge losses because the BR is steeped in all kinds of corruption. And this has been going on for years, depleting railway funds and resources and rendering BR unprofitable and inefficient.
