Here’s what I found regarding Ijtema special trains in 2025, as operated by Bangladesh Railway:
Biswa Ijtema (2025) – Special Trains by Bangladesh Railway
Bangladesh Railway arranged seven pairs of special trains to manage the vast influx of pilgrims attending Biswa Ijtema, scheduled from late January to early February 2025. These services were introduced in two phases:
- Duration: From 31 January to 5 February 2025
- Purpose: To facilitate smooth travel for Ijtema participants traveling to Tongi, the nearest railhead.
- All inter-city, mail, and commuter trains made 2-minute stops at Tongi station, except for a few express routes (like the Subarna, Sonar Bangla, Cox’s Bazar, Tourist, and Banalata Express trains).([turn0search1], [turn0search3])
Additionally, special operational adjustments included:
- Rescheduling: The weekly off day of the Joydebpur Commuter Train was shifted from Saturday to Friday during the event.
- Service Suspension: On the final days of Ijtema (specifically on Akheri Munajat), the Turag Commuter trains and certain mail trains were suspended.([turn0search3])
