Benapole Rail Station master Saidur Rahman said that the commuter train departed for Mongla port at around 10:00am, reaching Mongla via Khulna’s Phultala at about 12:50pm.

The commuter train will operate daily, except on Tuesdays, according to Asim Kumar Talukdar, General Manager of the Railway Western Zone.
