Trains overflowing as people head home to vote

Many people are leaving Dhaka for the holidays surrounding the national election, creating a surge of passengers at Kamalapur Railway Station. With no space inside the trains, some travellers occupy the roofs. The interim government has declared Wednesday and Thursday as general holidays for the election, and many are returning home for the two-day weekend after voting.

Many are leaving Dhaka for a four-day break, combining the election holidays with the weekend. Almost every train leaving Kamalapur Railway Station is overcrowded on Tuesday, Feb 10, 2026, with passengers resorting to sitting on roofs. Photo: Abdullah al Momin
