Dhaka (UNB) - Bangladesh Railway's Dhaka Division earned over Tk 102.77 crore, mainly from passenger transport, in last fiscal year exceeding its target by Tk 3 crore. The amount is about Tk 6 crore higher than the previous (1998-99) fiscal year's income, which was Tk 96.93 crore, said a press release yesterday (Sunday). About 15 lakh more passengers traveled by the trains than the previous fiscal year in the area. During the period, 211,165 passengers without tickets were held and fined, earning Tk 80.63 lakh in fines and ticket money from the delinquents. "Better passenger service, security and punctuality in timetable attracted greater numbers of passengers for travelling by train," said the Railway. The department also introduced mobile court and intensive checking programme to ensure safe journey for the bona fide passengers. |
