'Bandhan Express' a step to connectivity

Dear Sir
Development and connectivity are linked with each other and the ties between India and Bangladesh, particularly between West Bengal and Bangladesh, are decades old.
Recently Bangladesh and India jointly flagged off the first Khulna-Kolkata passenger train "Bandhan Express". I believe, today is a great day for relations between the two countries. This train service is a dream come true for people on both sides of the border.
The 'Bandhan Express' will run every Thursday from both Kolkata and Khulna. It will cover a distance of 177km in four and half hours. The train on the route would, however, be open to passengers from November 16. The train, according to the schedule, would leave Kolkata at 11 am (Indian time) and reach Khulna within four and half hours.
