Home Adviser Lieutenant General Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury (Retd) on Wednesday asked all concerned to take appropriate measures so that none can travel on train roofs by risking their lives ahead of the Eid-ul-Azha, reports BSS.

"We have been trying our best to make sure that the passengers cannot travel on the train roof. We will not allow it," he said while replying to a question after visiting the Kamlapur Railway Station in the capital.

He also called upon the media to play its due role in making people aware of the risks of travelling on train roofs.

Responding to another question, the home adviser said almost no railway ticket is being black marketed.

Jahangir has also vowed to take tougher legal action against any possible black markets of railway tickets.

The home adviser said all the preparations have already been completed to ensure a pleasant journey for the homebound passengers.

"There will be no trouble. Thirty one trains have already left Kamlapur Railway Station. Four to five trains have been delayed by five to six minutes," he said.

He continued that 35 more trains will leave the Kamlapur Railway Station today without any delay.
