Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi will tomorrow jointly launch a new passenger train service between Kolkata and Bangladesh's southwestern industrial city of Khulna, officials said on Wednesday.
"The train would be dubbed as 'Bandhan Express' and it will operate on the 177-km-long Khulna-Kolkata route. The cross-country service would start ferrying passengers from November 16," a Bangladesh railway spokesman told PTI.
