Rusting DEMU Trains Tell a Story of Neglect

A DREAM GONE TO DUST AND RUST: Once hailed as a modernisation milestone, Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) trains now stand abandoned and rusting at Kamalapur Railway Station Repair Shed, Parbatipur Diesel Workshop and Chattogram's Pahartali Workshop. Bushes engulf the idle coaches as a once-celebrated project worth several hundred crore taka fades into an expensive symbol of neglect. The photo was taken at one of the workshops on Sunday.PHOTO: OBSERVER
