Faridpur Railway Station-ফরিদপুর রেলওয়ে ষ্টেশন

Bangladesh Railway, a key transportation agency in the country, is a government-owned and managed organization. It spans 2955.53 route kilometers and employs a total of 25,083 regular staff. The railway plays a crucial role in inland transport, connecting the entire country. Its growth significantly contributes to the nation’s economic development.

Until June 2, 1982, a Railway Board, consisting of a Chairman and four members, was responsible for the management and development of the railway. However, for administrative ease and operational reasons, the Railway Board was dissolved on June 3, 1982. The functions of the Railway Board were transferred to the Railway Division of the Ministry of Communications, with the Secretary of the Division serving as the Director General of Bangladesh Railway. To facilitate this, the Railway was divided into two zones, East and West, each under the administrative control of a general manager who reports to the Director General of Bangladesh Railway. On August 12, 1995, the day-to-day operations of the Railway were separated from the Ministry and entrusted to a director general from the railway professionals. A nine-member Bangladesh Railway board provides policy guidance.
