Although the main problems of Bangladesh Railway have been identified, no practical steps can be taken to solve them. In the context of severe traffic congestion and bad road management in the country, the railway has the potential to be profitable, but the company is burdened with losses.
In the past few years, visible steps have been taken to improve the infrastructure of the railways, but the losses of this company are increasing day by day. However, if there is only good will, it is possible to increase the income of this company several times by improving the management with the current infrastructure and engine-coach.
In 13 years the government has spent huge sums of money on railways; There are many more projects with huge amount of money going on. These are needed to enhance the service. Initiatives to increase overall railway services and management development initiatives are not visible. If you want to increase income, there is no alternative to look at these. It is known that in the last two financial years, the loss of railway operations alone has been more than 5000 crore rupees. It is alleged that due to collusion with the bus owners, those concerned with the train management are negligent. As a result, the burden of losses naturally increases. Many countries have been able to make radical changes in their railway communication system by ensuring advanced technology and infrastructure, high-speed trains, on-time movement and improving the quality of passenger services, but a different picture is seen in our country. Although major projects have been implemented for the development of railways, no steps are visible to reduce the dependence on outdated engines and coaches. In fact, the issue of lack of proper maintenance and mismanagement has been discussed for a long time, but no progress is visible in these sectors. In countries where railways are self-sufficient, emphasis is placed on improving the quality of service. Doubts remain about how much profit Bangladesh Railway will see by implementing unnecessary projects without increasing importance in this sector. As the poor state of railways is not getting better due to corruption and mismanagement, the authorities should increase importance to ensure transparency and accountability in all aspects of this organization. A visionary plan should be adopted to utilize the railway waste land. Steps should also be taken to de-risk the railways. If the railway officials and employees involved in corruption are severely suppressed, the overall condition of the railway will improve.
