Local residents blocked the railway line and staged a demonstration at Rajendrapur Railway Station in Gazipur, demanding stops for the Jamuna and Haor Express trains. The protest began around 6 AM on Saturday in the Rajendrapur Railway Station area, where demonstrators forced the Tista and Jamuna Express trains to halt.
Residents stated that despite long-standing demands to railway authorities without any effective decision, they were forced to take position on the tracks. The blockade disrupted train movement on the Dhaka-Mymensingh railway route. Later, train services normalized around 10 AM after the protesters withdrew following assurances from the upazila administration.
