Before Eid in Bangladesh, passengers crowd Dhaka’s railway stations to travel home. For 2026 the Ministry of Railways announced online advance sales, counter sales of standing tickets two hours before departure, and added law-enforcement and mobile-court measures. Ticketing and security create an order for the surge entering the station.
The festival is a time to return to family, but leaving the city first requires passing through the railway’s procedures. Homecoming excitement and the work of keeping turns orderly meet on the same platform.
