Guwahati: Indian Railways has decided to temporarily suspend the Mithali Express running between New Jalpaiguri in West Bengal and Dhaka camp in Bangladesh due to Eid celebrations in Bangladesh.
Indian Railways has decided to cancel the New Jalpai Guri-Dhaka-New Jalpai Guri Mithali Express service between June 25 and July 3, North East Frontier Railway (NFR) sources said on Tuesday.
Mitali Express will resume normal service shortly after Eid al-Fitr is over in Bangladesh.
Eid-ul-Zuha (Bakrid) or Eid ul-Adha (also known as Bakrid or Eid al-Adha) is the second largest Islamic festival celebrated by Muslims all over the world every year in late June and early July.
The Mitali Express, which rolled off the assembly line on June 1 last year, is jointly operated by the railway departments of the two countries.
NFR is one of India’s 17 railway districts, operating in the northeastern states as well as seven districts in West Bengal and five districts in North Bihar.
