The Bangladesh Railway (BR) restarts train services of all types today (Thursday) through operating intercity trains.
The operation of all commuter, mail and local trains has gone on well over the past three days.
Official sources said all 325 trains but four to five intercity express ones will run from today.
The suspended trains will undergo maintenance work.
Some coaches of Parabat Express and Jayantika Express were damaged and burnt by some unruly people during the countrywide quota-reform movement.
The BR operates 64 intercity express trains under the western zone and 54 trains under the eastern zone.
It halted all services sine die on July 18 but resumed partially on August 01 by operating commuter, local, and mail services on short distances.
But the state-owned rail operator once again suspended the services on August 03 as the student movement gathered tempo.
Sources, however, said six cross-country train services will remain suspended until further notice.
The officials said freight service of the BR has been running smoothly since its resumption.
On average, the BR operates 30 to 50 trains on demand to transport fuel and food grains daily.
