Human chain demands development of railway station in Hili

A human chain was formed at Hili land port in Hakimpur upazila in Dinajpur district on Sunday morning demanding development of railway station.

Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sangsad Hakimpur upazila unit organized the human chain at Hili Railway Station.

Speaking at the human-chain, speakers said that Hili is the 2nd largest land port of the country. This port-centric railway station has not seen any significant development and modernization since independence. Intercity trains do not stop at this railway station.

They alleged that although the railway minister assured of Dhaka-bound intercity train stoppage but it was not implemented.

After the human chain, a memorandum has been submitted to the Prime Minister through the Hakimpur upazila nirbahi officer demanding that Hili Land Port be made a modern city and stoppage intercity train at the railway station.
